Cutting-Edge Blockchain Network Boosted After WWT Increased Investment in the Technology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

56 per cent of global enterprises plan to use blockchain by 2020 thousands of innovative companies around the world are trying to solve market inefficiencies by leveraging the benefits that blockchain technology provides.<\/p>\n

Blockchain is at an inflection point today with momentum shifting from the exploration of the concept to the building of practical business applications.<\/p>\n

However, 45 per cent of executives are still wary of trusting this technology with the lack of scalability and the energy-consuming mechanisms cited as the biggest deterrents to mass adoption.<\/p>\n

To overcome these challenges, World Wide Technology<\/a> (WWT) and Dell Technologies, comprised of Dell EMC and VMware, have collaboratively developed a Blockchain Solutions Lab in the UK to host \u201cProject Concord\u201d<\/strong>, VMware’s project to provide a base for enterprise-grade blockchain implementations.<\/p>\n

Project Concord addresses scaling and energy efficiency issues by using a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus algorithm commonly found in blockchain networks.\u00a0 The Project Concord consensus engine is ten times faster than typical current blockchain industry platforms.\u00a0 Based on Project Concord, Dell Technologies are developing a broad, end-to-end set of blockchain capabilities, suitable for use by enterprise organisations and their applications.<\/p>\n

Dave Locke, Chief Technology Officer at World Wide Technology comments: \u201cThe uptake of blockchain technology by companies around the world will see a huge shift in the way every sector does business, much like the monumental shift from paper to online in the business world. To realise this change however, new technology infrastructures need to be implemented to enable competent performance, reduced speed of transactions, embedded regulatory compliance and energy efficiency.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cProject Concord aims to address these challenges, and we\u2019re very excited to be showcasing it at the Blockchain Solutions Lab in the UK. This lab is a collaborative ecosystem \u2013 a place for customers to trial and prove their blockchain initiatives for seamless integration of this technology into their IT infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAt WWT, we are constantly investing in cutting-edge technology for our clients so they can fulfil their ever-changing key business needs. Alongside providing the core infrastructure and best-in-class testing labs, WWT provides robust security measures and compliance mechanisms for companies looking to implement or upgrade their IT ecosystems. We look forward to bringing this ethos to blockchain technology integration as it revolutionises supply chains and business transactions across industries \u2013 one node at a time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
