Vault uses Microsoft SQL Server as a back end database and provides atomic commits to the version control system.

The tool is built on top of Microsoft .NET.

Fortress, originally an application lifecycle management (ALM) product marketed separately for use with Vault, was later merged into Vault releases.[3]

Third-party products have been designed to be integrated with Vault such as OnTime,[4] FogBugz,[5] TeamCity,[6] and SmartBear CodeCollaborator.[7]
