Teamprise Remote Accelerator runs unobtrusively on a developer's workstation, alongside your existing Team Foundation Server client. Remote Accelerator is compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and all Teamprise clients.

Up to 400% Performance Improvement
Huge performance improvements are available for version control operations, speeding up Get, Unshelve, Compare, Undo, View and Branch operations.

Cache Seeding Designed for Single Users
Teamprise Remote Accelerator employs an innovative "cache seeding" technology to ensure that download speeds are always fast for single users.

Traditional version control proxies rely on multiple users to attain fast version control speeds: the first time a source code item is requested from the proxy, it does not exist in the cache and must be downloaded from the main Team Foundation Server. Subsequent requests, however, are fast because the item will now be in the cache.

While this is beneficial for a group of developers, it doesn't help the lone remote developer who is telecommuting: every "get latest" will be the first request for a file, and it won't exist in the local cache.

Teamprise Remote Accelerator, however, monitors changes being made on Team Foundation Server and downloads new changesets from the server before they're requested by the client. This ensures that every source control item is already cached on your local hard drive for blazing downloads.

Easy to Install and Configure
Remote Accelerator is easy to install and configure. It runs unobtrusively in your task bar, constantly providing version control access and monitoring changes on your Team Foundation Server.

Remote Accelerator provides flexible authentication methods, perfect for telecommuters. You do not need to be joined to the domain in order to use it.

Supports Multiple Clients
If you have multiple computers in your home office, they can all take advantage of Remote Accelerator, provided they're all logging in to the same TFS user account.
