Enterprise blockchains are quietly getting interesting.
Competition is now heating up as Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) is joining the likes of IBM in offering its clients a blockchain platform for enterprise use. The differentiator? This one combines R3’s open-source technology with HPE’s proprietary software.
In interview with CoinDesk, the tech firm is now revealing new details about its work.
Not only does it have proofs-of-concept already underway with several clients, but it is teasing new partnerships ahead, including a possible entrance into Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.
But the development aside, it's the importance that HPE is placing on its success that is most interesting. Will blockchain become a key line item in a battle between multibillion-dollar companies? The sentiment here suggests that may just be a matter of time.
