Customer environments
Nextway.cloud comes with 3 different types of customer environments: Production, Sandbox, and Sandbox with preview. A Sandbox with preview is updated four weeks before the same functionality is made available to Sandbox and Production environments.
Infrastructure Maintenance
We constantly update the underlaying infrastructure, with patches from Microsoft. Once a month we routinely force a restart to apply the most demanding patches. When needed, we schedule an extraordinary maintenance window, to provide patches for identified High Impact Threats.
2, 4, or 8 Feature Releases each year
The standard frequency for feature release updates is 4 times each year. If you are dying to get your hands on the newest features, you can change to an update plan with 8 times each year. If you have complex and time-consuming integrations test to perform with each feature release, you may opt for only 2 times a year.
Bleeding edge
If you have an urge to get your hands on the new features in Next® as fast as at all possible, you can register your subscription as bleeding edge and thereby circumvent the 4-week delay. Then your Production environment gets updated within a few days of the Sandbox with preview.
Preventive Releases
In between Feature releases we provide you with Preventive Release Updates that only contain bugfixes and optimizations. Release updates that contain no new functionality. And require no additional testing from you.
Commercial conditions
If you wish to increase the frequency of Feature Release Updates, it comes with a cost. If you wish to run a Production environment as bleeding edge, the same.
