At the company’s recent InterConnect conference, IBM announced the release of IBM Blockchain as a Service. This service is based upon the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Fabric version 1.0 and runs on IBM’s high security network which is underpinned by LinuxONE. Previously, the Hyperledger Fabric was in an incubator state and has since been promoted to an active state.
In addition to IBM, the Hyperledger foundation includes other established entities including American Express, SAP, J.P. Morgan, Intel and Daimler. This consortium includes some of the same members as the recently announced Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, which does not include IBM.
