Requirements

Technology

Microsoft .NET Core

Fonto Content Quality is based on the cross-platform, open-source Microsoft .NET Core platform. Unlike the old .NET Framework, .NET Core runs on Linux, macOS and Windows alike. The runtime is designed with performance in mind, meaning your authors will not waste time waiting for a response.

Docker

Docker is the world’s leading software container platform.

Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” problems when collaborating on code with co-workers. Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in isolated containers to get better compute density. Enterprises use Docker to build agile software delivery pipelines to ship new features faster, more securely and with confidence for both Linux and Windows Server apps.

Fonto Content Quality leverages Docker container technology to make it easy for your developers to create implementations and simplifying deployment to test, acceptance and production environments. Within minutes your administrators will be able to configure failover and scaleout as well as their favorite log shipping and monitoring solutions.
