Re: Welcome to the Blockchain AMA!

When looking at most enterprise scenarios, over 90% of the time a private or consortium blockchain network will be needed. There is very much a lot of interest on our side to support these types of scenarios. In fact, we are in the process of releasing an updated version of the multi-node consortium network solution to make it easier to create a blockchain network across multiple subscriptions (i.e. multiple companies can setup a consortium blockchain network). As part of that release, we will be including documentation, which explains more technical information on how to setup these types of networks. That said, our goal is to continue to push in this space to support other blockchain stacks, such as quorum and others. In other words, as time goes on you should see additional Azure marketplace offerings, which provide easy solutions for setting up blockchain networks across multiple blockchain stacks. 

In addition to consortium networks, it is important to address issues and limitations with the technology that prevent the technology from being enterprise ready. There are multiple areas of development in this space and we will be talking about some of this functionality soon.
