If you are unsure on how fast your internet speed is, you can test the speed of your internet connection at [speedtest.net](https://speedtest.net/) - An Edge Factor membership (free, premium, or network membership) - We recommend you disable your VPN to ensure you see local content while you browse the platform There is no software to install. As a result, there are no hard drives, operating systems, RAM, or other requirements. > ### Server Requirements: There are no server requirements. All user records are stored on the cloud in the country of origin. This means that if your school is in Arizona your personal information will only be stored on servers in the United States.  Or, if your school is in Toronto your personal information will only be stored on servers in Canada. > ### Integrations: ![login screen](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/login%20screen.jpg?width=530&height=298&name=login%20screen.jpg) If you use: - [Clever (SSO or Rostering)](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/how-to-set-up-clever-sso-integration-sso?hsLang=en) - [D2L Brightspace](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/how-to-set-up-a-single-sign-on-with-d2l-brightspace?hsLang=en) - [Classlink](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/how-to-set-up-a-single-sign-on-with-classlink?hsLang=en) - [Microsoft](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/microsoft-sso-integration?hsLang=en) - [Google](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/how-to-set-up-google-sso-single-sign-on?hsLang=en) you can find their set up processes linked above. > ### Need Help?
