The Education Edge

Need help with hosting for your Blackbaud education management software? We specialize in hosting of all Blackbaud software including The Education Edge. You get private servers, securely isolated and dedicated to you alone. You’re free to customize your hosting environment any way you want and even install additional third-party software add-ons such as PaperSave.

Your team will access The Education Edge using the latest version of Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server). Use Microsoft Office. Print to both local and networked printers. Copy files using Windows Explorer. You don’t have to sacrifice functionality just because you’re on a remotely managed system.

Guaranteed Fast

Worried about performance of remote desktop across the Internet? Don’t be! Thanks to our exclusive Accelerated IP (XIP) service from Internap, access to your private installation is guaranteed ultra-fast. We have people using our service from literally the other side of the world who love the speed and availability.

Fully Managed

We manage all aspects of your hosted servers such as operating system updates and Blackbaud patches and updates. Unlike Blackbaud’s OnDemand hosting, we won’t force you to upgrade. We only install updates and patch according to your schedule. Should problems arise, we work directly with Blackbaud support on your behalf to troubleshoot issues and keep things running smoothly.

Pricing

$125/month per virtual unit: 1vCPU, 1GB RAM and 25GB storage.

The maximum number of simultaneous users is the primary criteria for determining the resources required for hosting The Education Edge. One way to calculate this number, start with the total number of users your organization is licensed for. Next, decide how many users are power users and how many are infrequent users. Take the number of infrequent users and divide by three and add it to the number of power users.

For example, an organization may have a 25 user license for The Education Edge. Of these, there are 15 power users and 10 infrequent users. Take 10 and divide by 3 giving us 3. We add 3 to our 15 power users giving us 18. Therefore, we should plan on 18 simultaneous users.

2 virtual units – $250/month : Up to 5 Users
3 virtual units – $375/month : 5 – 10 Users
4 virtual units – $500/month : 11 – 15 Users
5 virtual units – $625/month : 16 – 20 Users
6 virtual units – $750/month : 21 – 25 Users
