Add Development Server to E1 Architecture

Our architecture support folks are pushing us to add a separate development server to our E1 architecture. We are currently on SQL server with an enterprise, deployment and 2 web/portal servers.

Has anyone successfully done so? What are the pros and cons of such an architecture?
 
Adding additional application servers to house your non-production environments is a common thing. You shouldn't have any technical reason why you can't do this.
 
The request is for a separate development server - it's an IT standard that all development work takes place on a development server. They don't seem to understand environments and object promotion processes in JDE.
 
Joe, I have worked with clients who have similar kind of setup, which
primarily comes from the following 2 factor;

1. large scale development slowing down production users
2. Making production environment less prone to failure arising due to
improper promotions.

If you have large scale development going on, it does make sense, otherwise
we have to analyze what exactly the reason for this request. As far as
implementability goes, it should not be a big problem. The problem you will
face is in refreshing your environments at a regular interval.

Hope this helps!
