Announced on the IBM blog:
“Throughout IBM Think, an important message has resonated everywhere — empowering businesses to overcome vendor lock-in and the freedom of choice to apply IBM technology wherever data resides.
Our Watson team made some major announcements this week about making AI models and applications run across any cloud. Today, we are re-stating that same commitment for the IBM Blockchain Platform.
For two years, IBM has led the enterprise blockchain market, enabling hundreds of companies to build solutions, convene networks, and rapidly move into production on the IBM Blockchain Platform. And now, it’s time for those networks to grow anywhere.
As the market matures and new use cases emerge, one thing has become clear — the value of blockchain networks increases with the addition of diverse members. In today’s complex IT world, organizations run their systems across multiple environments — both on-premises and across cloud vendors.
IBM’s vision is a fully-flexible blockchain platform that can truly run in any computing infrastructure. Back in November, IBM took the first steps toward this multi-cloud strategy with the release of two offerings. IBM Blockchain Platform for IBM Cloud Private allows an organization to connect their on-premises computing systems to cloud-based blockchain networks to meet data residency, compliance requirements or corporate preferences. IBM Blockchain Platform for AWS makes it simple for organizations to deploy IBM Blockchain Platform components natively, through templates, on AWS.
Today, we are unveiling the first look at the next generation of the cloud-based IBM Blockchain Platform with a free 2.0 beta. It has been rearchitected for hybrid and multi-cloud deployment capabilities, enabled by Kubernetes containers. The new platform will give users the freedom to run blockchain components in any environment, whether on the IBM Cloud, on-premises, or in other public clouds…”
