Docker

Gone full DevOps? Let EIS host your container in our Docker environment. We support both Linux and Windows containers. Curious about containers? Give us a call or stop by 32nd Street, we'd be excited to work with you.

Containers allow for higher density of services, while allowing each service (web app, database, etc.) to exist in a discrete way with it's version of supporting libraries. Here's a quick introduction about containers.
