Differences between BusinessObjects EDGE and Enterprise

- BusinessObjects Edge 3.0/3.1 is a single server deployment while BusinessObjects Enterprise can be deployed on multiple servers.
- Profiles and Publications (also referred to as Publishing) are disabled in BusinessObjects Edge 3.0. This is enabled in BusinessObjects Edge 3.1, with a limitation of sending to 100 recipients at a time. The option to send to additional recipients can be purchased as add-on functionality.

- Federation is disabled in BusinessObjects Edge 3.0/3.1. Note this feature remains visible in the CMC for the BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 release, however it is not operational.

- BI Widget is supported in BusinessObjects Edge Edge 3.0/3.1 Polestar is supported in BusinessObjects Edge Edge 3.1.

- BusinessObjects Edge 3.0/3.1 does not have native .NET IIS support.

  - Tomcat is the only web application service supported in BusinessObjects Edge 3.0. BusinessObjects Edge 3.1 has an internal hosted application server which services all its web-based applications. This is no need to purchase a separate application server. Should you wish to deploy on a separate application server, Tomcat is supported.
