Case Study: Silicon Valley Community Foundation achieves zero donor-portal downtime and scalable, secure IT with Navisite’s NaviCloud DaaS

Finding A Cloud Services Provider to Empower Growth

Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), the world’s largest community foundation, needed a new cloud partner after outgrowing its longtime provider. The organization faced intermittent connectivity and donor-portal outages, rising security concerns, and required a scalable, fully managed solution (including resilient Desktop-as-a-Service, data protection and disaster recovery) to support rapid growth.

SVCF migrated its virtual desktop environment and its Blackbaud ERP hosting to Navisite’s NaviCloud platform, using Navisite’s DaaS and managed services. Since the six-month migration the donor portal has seen no downtime, end users report improved performance, and SVCF gained the security, operational support and scalability needed to focus on mission-critical initiatives.
