Key Features

Customization

Allows customization beyond what is possible in the Instructure cloud via Canvas plugins that run alongside the core Canvas code.

Performance

Able to handle large numbers of simultaneous users.

Scalability

Scalable to large number of users using horizontal scaling on AWS, Azure, or other data centers.

Isolate

Your Canvas runs as its own instance, separate from all others. Problems or increased load in others' Canvas instances won't affect yours.

Redundancy

Uses multiple application and database servers so that if one fails, Canvas does not go down or lose data.

Back Ups

Ensures data will never be lost by using a trailing slave database and by using nightly backups.

Disaster Recovery

Backs up entire system and data nightly to an off site server so that it could quickly restored in the event of a natural disaster or other event that completely destroys the primary system.

Monitoring

Pro-actively monitors the health of all Canvas subsystems in order to be able to detect potential problems before they affect customers.

Maintenance

We regularly apply operating system updates and bring in the updates to Canvas that Instructure releases.

LTI Deployment

We can easily deploy LTI applications on the same servers that Canvas is running on, reducing hosting costs.

Enhancements

We optionally bundle the Atomic Jolt apps with our Canvas hosting to enhance Canvas functionality by adding the ability to search content, proctor and configure high stakes exams and embedded assessments, discussions, and polls.

Build a Custom Solution

Some problems need a custom solution. Atomic Jolt has over 20 years of experience creating custom software. Our partnerships, open source starter apps, and deep experience with IMS standards, Learning Management Systems, and online learning allow us to quickly deliver custom solutions that support effective instruction.
