Telecom Giant - Building a Blockchain-based Consortium Network with Zeeve

Goals:

The client had very clear goals to achieve for the Blockchain network:

Help, build, and scale the consortium automatically.

Reduce time in research and creating development & production environments.

To make the blockchain network be cross-cloud and make it deployable/extendable according to demand.

Allow constant monitoring for the distributed network.

The multinational telecommunications conglomerate has launched a Blockchain based consortium network with partners in multiple territories across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania. The network is built using R3 Corda protocol.

Challenges

The multinational telecommunications conglomerate team was facing the following hurdles in deploying the optimum Blockchain Network for the specified business goals:

A quick and easy development environment setup with the desired consensus option and logging options of the nodes for debugging.
Standardized implementation so that there are no missing parameters or bugs in the deployed network.
No external dependencies including cloud lock-in.
Proactive monitoring and alerts so as to avoid setting up a dedicated internal DevOps team.
Heterogeneous cloud deployment support to accommodate the cloud preferences of different consortium partners.
Easy and automated onboarding process for consortium partners on the Blockchain network, meeting compliances and access controls.
Automation of CI/CD pipelines

Solutions

What would have taken ~6 man-days along with good expertise on Corda, Cortide, Kubernetes, helm, etc, Zeeve platform helped deploy the development environment in 15 minutes, including the account setup and authorization..

Zeeve facilitated easy network setup with all the configurations and parameters taken care of and the network working flawlessly.

The service layer required endpoints of both Corda nodes and Cordite services to work with on a heterogenous cloud architecture.
