Hewlett Packard Enterprise Introduces Blockchain as-a-Service Solution for Enterprises
November 10 2017 - 12:00PM
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) today announced the first
product in the HPE Mission Critical Blockchain family. Mission
Critical Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a solution that
enables customers to run distributed ledger workloads on the
highest availability enterprise platforms.
Mission Critical DLT is a distributed ledger technology that is
used to record transactions across a decentralized network of
computers and has a wide range of potential applications across
industries. According to Gartner, blockchain will generate $176
billion in business value by 2025.1
Enterprises evaluating blockchain solutions are finding that
generic infrastructure and public cloud environments cannot support
the requirements they need in terms of performance, security,
scalability and resiliency. HPE’s Mission Critical DLT solution
offers availability and fault protection for enterprise-grade
applications. This solution includes Scalability and SQL
integration that cannot be realized with workloads running in a
public cloud environment or generic infrastructure.
The Mission Critical DLT solution is a part of HPE’s overall
approach to bring enterprise-grade capability to blockchain
workloads. The solution is offered on HPE Integrity NonStop
platforms, which process two out of every three credit card
transactions in the world. It was developed in partnership with
enterprise software firm R3, integrating the company’s distributed
ledger technology with HPE's mission critical platform. This
combination enables customers to execute distributed-ledger
workloads in environments that demand 100 percent fault tolerance
at mission critical levels and ensures massive scalability to grow
with the business as well as SQL integration with legacy
systems.
“Enterprises interested in blockchain are realizing that public
cloud alone does not always meet their non-functional
requirements,” said Raphael Davison, Worldwide Director for
Blockchain, HPE. “As they look to scale, they recognize that, for
mission-critical processes, on-premise infrastructure must be part
of the mix of traditional IT, private and public cloud that’s
needed to meet the requirements of enterprise-grade blockchain
workloads.”
Product AvailabilityHPE Mission Critical DLT is
expected to be commercially available in early 2018. Customers also
will be able to purchase access to this solution in a “DLT as a
Service” environment for serious trials and production use later in
the year.
