Blockchain Leader Kaleido Announces New Support for Microsoft Azure; Unveils Ability to Build Borderless Blockchains Across Clouds and Geographies - Seite 2

Kaleido's Blockchain Business Cloud platform enables enterprises to accelerate from the proof-of-concept stage to production blockchain networks for diverse ecosystems. Since its launch in May 2018, Kaleido has helped enterprises deploy overa thousand consortia blockchain networks, producing over 150 million blocks, with some of the world's most recognizable brands, like T-Mobile, Kroger, Heineken, Sony, Fox, UnionBank, and many others, participating in live networks.

"Microsoft continues to work deeply with the Ethereum community to advance applications of enterprise blockchain," said Yorke Rhodes, principal program manager, Blockchain Engineering at Microsoft. "We're happy to welcome Kaleido to our rich blockchain partner ecosystem, so enterprises can realize the business value of blockchain faster."

DrumG, an emerging global financial technologies company, is using Kaleido's Blockchain Business Cloud on Microsoft Azure to power its Titanium Network, a decentralized, anonymous and cryptographically secured over-the-counter (OTC) consensus data solution for investment bank trading and valuation operations, which includes Credit Suisse as a network founding institution.

"Having access to Kaleido on Azure allows us to build on the leading enterprise blockchain solution in the market, while maximizing the leading cloud infrastructure investments we've already made," says Tim Grant, Founder and CEO of DrumG. "Kaleido also lets us build and deploy our blockchain solution so that it is integrated directly with our existing business processes and apps already running on Microsoft Azure."

Kaleido customer komgo is a blockchain-based commodity trade and finance group comprised of global institutions like Citi, ING, Koch Supply & Trading, MUFG Bank, Societe Generale, ABN AMRO Bank, Credit Agricole Group, BNP Paribas, Shell and others, who each have varying needs and preferences when it comes to deployment. If one member wants to run on Azure, and another wants to run on AWS, they can seamlessly work together in a single blockchain network on Kaleido.

"As networks onboard new members and scale, these sorts of capabilities from Kaleido are critical to remove friction and tear down barriers to adoption so organizations can accelerate their path to building live production solutions for diverse business cases," said Souleïma Baddi, CEO of komgo.

The Kaleido Marketplace of plug-and-play services, integrations and partner software such as HD wallets for privacy and ID registries for organizational identity, as well as industry products such as Chainlink for smart contract oracles, Viant for supply chain management, OpenLaw and Clause.io for real-time legal contracts, are all now available on Microsoft Azure.
