Developed by JP Morgan, Quorum – an enterprise-variant of the Ethereum blockchain – will be the first distributed ledger platform available through Microsoft Azure Blockchain Service.
This will enable customers of both firms to build and scale blockchain networks in the cloud. The partners say their customers can take advantage of lower costs, simplified deployment and built-in governance to focus on application development.
Umar Farooq, global head of blockchain, JP Morgan, says Azure will bring unique strengths to enterprise clients using Quorum.
