Vantagepoint Environments
When you use Deltek cloud products, you use a production environment to maintain your live data and perform live processing. You may also use additional, non-production "sandbox" environments for testing and development purposes.
Certain environments and services are only available in premium offerings or with additional subscription fees. Check with your account manager or your customer success manager if you are interested in adding any environments or services.
What is an Environment?
An environment is the collection of software and infrastructure components necessary to operate a product. This includes shared security services, monitoring, web and application servers, database servers, operating systems, compute, storage, memory, and network.
Each environment can have one or more customer-specific database instances associated with it, which may require an additional subscription fee. For certain offerings, additional non-production environments or production or non-production database replicas may be purchased for a minimum 1-year subscription.
Services Related to Your Vantagepoint Environment
A Vantagepoint Administrator can submit requests related to the Vantagepoint environment, such as a request to restore data from a backup database. See Service Requests for more information.

- Production Environment
Your production environment is where you maintain your live data and perform live processing. Most Vantagepoint customers have only one production instance, unless they have more than one company or entity, running under separate subscriptions. - Non-Production Environments
Any application environment that is not designated for live production use is considered a non-production environment. For example, you may use a non-production "sandbox" for testing and development purposes. - Production Database Replicas (Sandboxes)
With the Basic, Flex, and Enterprise offerings, you receive one additional production configuration database replica, which is housed in the production environment and treated as a production database only for backup and retention purpose. Use the production database replica for reporting and configuration testing. - Disaster Recovery
Deltek provides a disaster recovery environment with all offerings. Unless otherwise specified, the disaster recovery site is more than 250 miles away (DR250) from the production hosting facility.
