Is this Version Control System Centralized or Distributed?

Question

Is Seapine's Surround SCM a centralized or a distributed version control system?

For moderators, this is 100% on topic. – VonC Feb 01 '11 at 13:25 — VonC, Feb 01 '11 at 13:25

From their website, specifically this page, it is centralized. They emphasize caching proxies for performance, but there is still one single copy of the repo.

So in that case it is a centralized VCS? – JC2 Feb 01 '11 at 13:26

Disclaimer: I work at Seapine Software. (That actually kinda helps this question.) It definitely is centralized and usually remote users just connect via TCP/IP. The proxy server is generally used in places, like a remote office, where network speeds to the main server are less than great. – Grant Lammi Feb 04 '11 at 15:03
