Simpler User Experience

VRL access results in a simplified day-to-day user experience compared to RDP.

File-sharing Security

Since it is occurring over the internet, file sharing that occurs in Vista must necessarily be made more secure. Vista offers a way to restrict the types of files that can be uploaded within your network. See About the File Extension White List Form.

Network File Storage Requirements

Because Trimble Viewpoint hosts your database and application servers, file management and storage methods are different than when your users have immediate access to your company servers (such as with a LAN deployment). Specifically, any process that retrieves files from the database server is affected.

VPN Connection is included with VRL Cloud

As a standard part of your cloud deployment, Trimble Viewpoint provides a VPN connection from your office so that third-party applications which are not hosted by Viewpoint within the environment can access your Vista server in our Cloud.

The Vista client connects without a VPN.

For further details, see About VPN Use for VRL Cloud Users.

Internet Performance Requirements

Successful VRL Cloud operations are dependent in part upon your organization's network performance. While your sales representative can walk you through a more comprehensive evaluation, these performance standards are provided for your convenience.
