Introducing Blockchain Network Fusion
The massive growth of data and data sharing is putting pressure on traditional networks, with increasingly higher end-user expectations, on-demand services available on mobile devices, high-definition video for rich collaboration applications, and more.
At the same time, the adoption of blockchain, including enterprise systems based on distributed ledger technology, continues to rise, often outpacing the requirement to ensure the integrity of the data and availability of the infrastructure is in place and can scale.
Blockchain Network Fusion is a project established by four global leaders: Dispersive, an advanced software defined networking disrupter; PulseLab, where blockchain innovation thrives and new applications are being invented every day; ClearBlade, experts and developers of a single IoT platform that works across the full range of systems, networks, protocols, and devices; and the Silicon Valley Blockchain Society, a membership organization bringing global thought leaders together to advance enterprise blockchain innovation.
Security Matters
Real-time communications between machines (The Internet of Things) and people can be authenticated more elegantly when the network itself becomes part of the blockchain solution. This addresses massive gaps in terms of privacy and security by ensuring every endpoint, every application, every cloud and every privileged administrator with credentials to make changes in “the system” can be controlled and verified. With progammabiity, every “account” on the network can be whitelisted and blacklisted, and compliant with increasingly strict regulations in our rapidly, digitally transforming world.
Securing the Network
While the decentralized data management and integrity capabilities that blockchain brings to enterprise applications are exciting, distributed ledger implementations are more secure when they run over highly secure, resilient, and fast virtual private networks. A layered approach to blockchain design will accelerate the adoption of large scale, mission-critical solutions particularly in industries where sensitive data is exchanged: healthcare, financial services, military, and government applications, energy grid, and others. In this white paper, we share insights on how programmable networking can be fused with blockchain data integrity, access and document management, and compliance solutions to not only secure computing and collaboration environments but to validate them using distributed ledger approaches.
