Dell-owned VMware releases enterprise-focused blockchain. VMware, an enterprise-ready blockchain platform, has launched VMware Blockchain, a global cloud computing and virtual machine firm.
Owned by Dell, the billion-dollar company first teased the blockchain’s development in 2018 through its Project Concord, promising an enterprise-grade platform that can enable secure inter-organization data sharing.
IBM and other multinational tech conglomerates who have launched their own blockchain platforms are joining VMware. Through its blockchain solution, the organisation has established highly complicated and fragmented multi-party business workflows that result in delays, increased costs and hindered innovation as core problems they seek to solve.
VMware Blockchain is now available for commercial use, after being tested by the Australian Stock Exchange. The exchange intends to replace its current CHESS system with the new platform, although this was recently delayed until April 2023.
International fintech firm Broadridge Financial Solutions is using VMware’s solution to develop “blockchain-based solutions to transform capital market’s infrastructure” according to the Head of DLT Repo for Broadridge, Horacio Barakat. He added that the platform enabled the company “to model and enforce multi-party agreements on a Scalable Byzantine Fault Tolerant platform.”
The Scalable Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus protocol mentioned was developed internally by VMware as part of Project Concord. The firm has partnered with Digital Asset to incorporate Digital Asset Modelling Language smart contracts, and is also partnering with service partners such as Accenture, Infosys and Intellect EU.
The cloud computing company started in 1998 and reported a revenue of $10.6 billion in the 2020 fiscal year.
