# Scope of Services

Unizin offers each Member Institution an Unizin Data Warehouse (UDW). A UDW provides an institution-wide data warehouse solution for [Canvas Data](https://portal.inshosteddata.com/docs). UDWs are offered as a full-service product. Once implemented, UDWs are generally updated daily (based on the availability of Canvas Data, which is issued every 24-36 hours).

### Amazon Redshift <a href="#scopeofservices-amazonredshift" id="scopeofservices-amazonredshift"></a>

The Unizin Data Warehouse uses [Amazon Redshift](https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/?sc_channel=PS\&sc_campaign=acquisition_US\&sc_publisher=google\&sc_medium=redshift_b\&sc_content=redshift_e\&sc_detail=amazon%20redshift\&sc_category=redshift\&sc_segment=96578642442\&sc_matchtype=e\&sc_country=US\&s_kwcid=AL!4422!3!96578642442!e!!g!!amazon%20redshift\&ef_id=VjDp4gAABOGnc5jv:20160609220209:s), a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse. Each Member UDW is a Redshift database hosted within an Unizin-managed Amazon Redshift cluster. Unizin's Redshift clusters are high-uptime, load-balanced, and secure. Computing resources auto-scale to meet Member UDW need.
