Once started, the MainConcept 2GO instance is active and ready to use. The interface for data transfers in and out depends on the type of 2GO product. For live streaming use cases, MainConcept 2GO allows a direct IP network connection in and out of the container. For file-based use cases a folder on the host is mapped into the container and used for input and output.
MainConcept 2GO containers are best suited for large deployments in local or virtual server farms, including cloud platforms.

System Notes
On Windows you must configure Docker for Linux Containers using the CE (Community Edition) rather than EE (Enterprise Edition) version of Docker. Docker CE requires a full GUI to install, Windows Server 2016 users must have the full ‘desktop experience’ installed. The lighter-weight versions of Windows Server 2016 does not support a full GUI. Other versions of Windows only have a full GUI. Due to limitations in VirtualBox, MainConcept 2GO does not run a VM tool with Windows Server 2016.
