Ibm system storage solutions handbook

This document discusses blockchain and how IBM can help businesses apply it. Blockchain is a shared, replicated, permissioned ledger technology that can improve business networks by reducing costs, increasing efficiencies and accessibility. It addresses challenges across industries. IBM supports the open standard Hyperledger Project and provides blockchain services through Bluemix to help customers get started incrementally with blockchain.

Blockchain technology allows strangers on the internet to agree on transactions without a central authority through the use of distributed ledgers, consensus algorithms, and cryptography. The Hyperledger project is developing open source blockchain frameworks and tools for businesses to create applications on permissioned blockchains. An example application tracks pork products in a supply chain using smart contracts on Hyperledger Fabric to provide transparency into where products come from.

Hyperledger is a collaborative effort created by the Linux Foundation to advance blockchain technology for use by enterprises. It aims to create an open standard for distributed ledgers that can transform global business transactions. The project will develop an enterprise-grade open source distributed ledger framework and codebase that users can build industry applications on. It will also create a technical community to benefit solution providers and users focused on blockchain use cases.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technologies and how IBM can help businesses apply blockchain. It defines key blockchain concepts like shared ledgers, smart contracts, consensus, and privacy. It also discusses example use cases for blockchain like supply chain management, financial transactions, and regulatory compliance. The document outlines IBM's engagement model for helping customers explore blockchain, build proofs of concept, and scale blockchain applications. It positions IBM as supporting the open source Hyperledger project and providing tools and services to make blockchain adoption easier for businesses.

This document discusses key concepts and components related to blockchain solutions, including actors such as users, developers, operators, and architects. It describes various components that make up blockchain solutions such as ledgers, smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, and how applications interact with blockchains. It also covers considerations for blockchain developers and operators, and challenges around integrating blockchains with existing systems and achieving determinism.

Distributed ledgers offer advantages for capital markets by providing a single record of transactions maintained across multiple nodes, avoiding political battles over control. They could help reconcile complex transactions recorded across old, fragile software systems in bank back offices. A distributed ledger maintained between different financial players could more easily track a swap sold and resold between custodians than traditional systems. Potential use cases involve a lack of central authority, robust regulatory needs, and transactional processes followable as smart contracts. Examples include repo agreements, FX settlement, and trade reconciliations.

Slides from my CLOSER 2021 keynote ( https://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/closer/2021/presentationDetails/1390 ) Blockchain has emerged as a decentralized platform for managing digital assets and executing 'smart contracts', i.e., user-defined code. While blockchain's suitability for a given use case should always be scrutinized, it does have the potential to disrupt many of the connection points between individuals, companies, and government entities. In this keynote talk, I will provide an overview of what architects and developers need to know in order to build blockchain-based applications, and how it relates to the cloud and software services. Among others, I will cover blockchain-as-a-service concepts, as well as architectural concerns and model-driven engineering for blockchain applications, the latter also in relation to collaborative business processes. To highlight some of the challenges, I will discuss insights from a project on "programmable money", i.e., blockchain-based money for conditional payments where the money itself checks whether it can be spent in a certain way at the point of payment. Finally, I will touch on insights into current adoption of blockchain.

Blockchain technology is increasingly being considered for applications in business contexts due to its key properties. It is also very much hyped for its potential to transform existing industries and business models. In Part 1, we will introduce the key properties of blockchain, its limitations, the field and the relevance for SAP and enterprises in general. In Part 2, we will focus on one of the prominent suites available today and provide an demonstration of the POC we’ve developed.

This document provides an agenda and overview of IBM Bluemix and Cloud Foundry. The agenda includes introductions to Platform as a Service (PaaS), Cloud Foundry, exploring the Bluemix console, and creating and updating an app. It then discusses the history and models of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and PaaS, the architecture and benefits of Cloud Foundry, and how to use the Bluemix console to create an app from the catalog and edit code locally.

Blockchain technology was introduced in 2008 through Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper that introduced blockchain as a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of transaction records hardened against tampering. The document discusses key definitions around permissioned versus permissionless blockchains and consensus algorithms. It also provides examples of potential business use cases for blockchain as well as success stories from companies applying the technology.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technology and its applications for business. It begins with defining blockchain as a shared, immutable ledger for recording transactions across a network of nodes. It then discusses how blockchain can be used to build trust and transparency in business processes by enabling real-time sharing of information across organizations. The document provides examples of how blockchain is being applied in various industries like trade finance, food supply chains, and healthcare to improve processes like payments, provenance tracking, and data sharing. It also outlines factors to consider when selecting blockchain use cases and developing blockchain solutions.

The document outlines an agenda for a blockchain essentials workshop, including four sessions: exploring blockchain components; leveraging blockchain benefits; implementing blockchain in banking; and understanding key challenges. It then provides details on the first session, exploring blockchain and its components, defining blockchain, its distributed ledger system, and key cryptography components like public/private keys, digital signatures, proof of work, and hash functions. It also discusses the relationship between blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Traceability of components of products - from food to fashion - is central to the promise of using blockchain to organize and operationalize data from the web of supply chains. How would traceability bring value? How do blockchain and smart contracts work? And how would these foster traceability? What has been done so far in this regard? What issues and tensions affect adoption of traceability, whether by blockchain or other means? This webinar examines blockchain and the role it plays in supply chain by providing traceability.
