Cloud and Virtualization Support Policy

Modern computing infrastructure technology continues to evolve towards virtualization and cloud to support growing scalability and performance demands. As a result, our customers are facing new choices and considerations when it comes to deployment and operating Corticon, including:
  • Server Virtualization including capabilities like VMware® VMotion™
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), for example, from Citrix
  • Containerization, for instance, from Docker
  • Cloud Computing, including AWS, Azure, and others

Unless explicitly stated, Progress supports Corticon on Operating Systems listed in this document, irrespective of any given cloud or virtualization technology. In case of any issue, the same problem should be reproducible on a standard OS installation to get support in line with the customer’s support agreement, i.e., you must ensure that changes/customization of the cloud virtualization platform isn’t causing the issue.
