Yes, customers may request any number of desired development, test, UAT, etc. environments. These environments are for non-production use and are usually used for existing Viewpoint Vista Cloud customers to have a separate test environment to ensure the stability of their production cloud environment while they perform dev and test work.
Each new additional environment is a completely separate environment from any others. As such, the totality of all infrastructure needs to be replicated into the new environment. In addition, please note that due to the costs that Trimble Viewpoint incurs from Microsoft for setting up new environments in Azure, these costs must be passed on to the customer.
However, the cost to set up a separate test environment is substantially less than that for Viewpoint One licensing itself and is intended to recoup the additional licensing and hosting costs that Viewpoint incurs when creating an additional environment for a customer.
The precise cost of an additional test environment varies from customer to customer and depends on the number of users that you would like the environment to support.
Please contact your account manager for the pricing for your specific scenario.
To request an addition environment for development or testing purposes:
Please reach out to your Trimble Viewpoint account manager to have the environment added into your Trimble Construction One (TC1) contract.
Once the environment has been added to your contract, our cloud engineering team will spin up the new environment's infrastructure.
You will then be able to submit a case to have your data from production copied over to this new test environment, also known as a data refresh. Here is a Vista Cloud FAQ article that will provide more details on this data refresh topic: Refreshing Test Environment Data
