Deploying GoChain on Azure

Why GoChain?

A private implementation of GoChain provides a number of advantages in five key areas compared to existing solutions:

Speed, Performance, and Reliability — all of the performance optimizations built into GoChain have been tested and proven in a private, controlled environment.

100% Ethereum Compatible — GoChain is frontwards and backwards compatible with Ethereum making it seamless and easy to transition from Ethereum to GoChain or vice versa with no code changes.

New Consensus Model — moving away from Proof-of-Work (PoW) increases the transaction speed, security, and scalability of the network via our Proof of Reputation consensus mechanism.

Upgradeable Smart Contracts — as every developer knows, the flexibility to update code to fix bugs or add functionality is critical. In blockchain, where a lot of value is on the line and hacking runs rampant, this is even more true. GoChain is developing upgradable smart contract functionality, where trust is retained between parties as well as moving critical loss prevention features, such as pausing a smart contract, to the protocol level.

Service and Support — GoChain takes pride in providing hands-on support to ensure our users have successful implementations. They have a client success and support team consisting of professionals and industry experts from IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle.

Director of Marketing & Community, Adam Norris @ Microsoft Inspire, July 2018 — Las Vegas, NV

The GoChain team comes from Fortune 500 companies and Enterprise-level corporations. This has given them an in-depth understanding of what Enterprise clients need in a changing business ecosystem. On the technical side, clients want performance, reliability, and increased functionality. Our client success and support team allow our offering to go way beyond the deployment solution on its own. GoChain is proud to be the first and only blockchain company to provide a public and private blockchain solution designed with enterprise in mind.

“We are really looking forward to working with Azure clients and providing them with an Enterprise level of support not currently available in Blockchain today. This will also help drive mass Enterprise adoption across the GoChain ecosystem.”

— Jason Dekker, GoChain CEO
