Multichain 2.0 is now generally available on Azure Marketplace. MultiChain Coin Sciences – the inventor of MultiChain technology - offers a new MultiChain 2.0 Community with support template via the Azure Marketplace. This template is suitable for companies wishing to run their own MultiChain Community node, with a support contract and without the hassle and complication of managing it on-premises.
MultiChain is one of the permissioned blockchain technologies and you can read more about the origins of it in this whitepaper. If you are wondering for what use cases does Multichain make sense, then visit this Multichain blog to get more details on some of the permissioned enterprise networks built on Multichain which are in production. MultiChain is particularly well suited for large scale (>1 billion entries) general data applications, since this makes it different from many other platforms which focus on providing asset/token ledgers.
Multichain template on Azure helps the customers to deploy Multichain node in few simple clicks with all the much-required customization like
- Resource settings
- Choice of Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine series
- Choice of Storage Disk size
- Network Settings
- Multichain configuration
- Create or join a network
- Setting Blockchain parameters
- Setting runtime parameters
- Setting Endpoint security
Alongside a pre-installed version of MultiChain 2 Community, the template also includes a secure https proxy and web-based dashboard for ease of management and integration with secure applications.
The dashboard provides the following value-added features:
- Server health monitoring (CPU/memory/disk).
- Node health monitoring (memory pool, wallet bloat).
- Blockchain health monitoring (block size limit).
- Node daemon stopping and starting.
- Optional checking, downloading, and upgrading to latest MultiChain Community version.
