Case Study: VQ Communications achieves Linux scalability and cross-platform flexibility with Microsoft .NET Core

Acano Manager gains Linux scalability and open-source flexibility with .NET Core

VQ Communications, a UK-based telecommunications software company, faced a scalability challenge. Its Acano Manager software, which manages Cisco Meeting Server infrastructure, began failing when deployed on Linux using the Mono framework, causing unreliable connections and threatening service delivery for its global customers. Microsoft Corporation's .NET Core was identified as a potential cross-platform solution.

By porting its software to Microsoft's .NET Core, VQ Communications gained a high-performance, cross-platform solution. This allowed them to maintain a single codebase for both Windows and Linux deployments, resolving the scalability issues and ensuring reliable service. The move to Microsoft's open-source framework also provided developers with greater freedom and productivity, paving the way for future innovation with technologies like Docker.
