Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Additional
Environment Add-On
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Online comes with a limited number of environments by default. For many companies, this basic package is sufficient. However, if separate production systems, additional test and development environments, or organizationally or technically separate scenarios are required, the Business Central Additional Environment Add-On may be a useful option.
How many Environments are included in the Standard Version of Business Central?
Every Business Central tenant with an Essentials or Premium subscription comes with one production environment and three sandbox environments by default.
What does the Business Central Additional Environment Add-On include?
With the Additional Environment Add-On, you can create and use additional environments within your Business Central tenant. The main production environment is not affected.
When you purchase this add-on, you’ll receive
- one additional production environment
- three additional sandbox environments
- 4GB of additional storage capacity for your entire tenant
You can purchase the additional environments through your Microsoft Solutions Partner and manage them via the admin center. The new environments are available tenant-wide.
The Benefits of Additional Environments via the Additional Environment Add-On
Enhanced Security
You can conduct testing and development even more effectively separate from production business data.
Improved Release Strategy
You have the option to thoroughly test new features within the new environments before deploying them to production (for example, before major updates).
Scalable Enterprise Structure
Additional environments enable the operation of separate production systems, for example, for international subsidiaries, different country versions, or organizationally separate business units.
Additional Storage Space
Each Additional Environment license increases your tenant’s available database capacity by an additional 4GB.
Full Functionality
Within the additional environments, you’ll find the full functionality of Business Central and the identical user interface.
Training Purposes
You can train new users through hands-on exercises and familiarize them with Business Central without compromising the integrity of your business data.
Database Capacity: Flexibly add Additional Storage Space
Not only can you purchase additional environments for Business Central, but you can also increase the storage space available for your tenant as needed. (The standard storage capacity per tenant is 80GB, plus extra capacity for Essentials, Premium, and Device users.) Microsoft provides Database Capacity for additional storage space.
Conclusion
The Dynamics 365 Business Central Additional Environment is a useful add-on for companies that need more than just the standard environments. It provides additional production and test environments, increases database capacity, and thus also supports international and complex ERP scenarios.
The Additional Environment license is a particularly helpful option for companies with multiple subsidiaries, extensive development projects, or high requirements for testing and release processes.
