Line 24:

* '''Build Avoidance''': Use of MVFS (Multiversion File System) allows derived objects built in one dynamic view to be automatically "copied over" to another dynamic view requiring "exactly the same" derived object. Two derived objects are deemed to be "exactly same" if they have the same ''configuration record'' (ClearCase terminology, also called ''bill of materials''). Shared derived objects will be physically present on the VOB server, and not in the views that reference them. The process of "copying over" is called ''winking in'' in ClearCase terminology.

* '''Unix/Windows Interoperability:''' VOBs hosted on Unix*nix (andSolaris, co.Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Irix primarily) servers can be accessed from views hosted on Windows clients,. and viceVOBs hosted on Windows servers can only be accessed by Unix clients with snapshot views. versa.

* '''Integration With Other Rational Products:''' Other products (originally) from [[Rational_Software|Rational Software]], notably [[ClearQuest]] and [[Rational_Rose|Rational Rose]] integrate well with ClearCase.
