Microsoft Azure marketplace includes Emercoin Blockchain Engine

Emercoin and Microsoft Azure have released Emercoin Blockchain Engine in the Microsoft Azure marketplace which will be the first blockchain solution designed for end users.

Blockchain Engine (BcE), a platform designed for developers, offers a suite of tools to create applications and services based off of the Emercoin blockchain. It can be deployed using CentOS or Ubuntu in the cloud.

With the release of Emercoin Blockchain Engine on the Azure platform, any user can install the fully ready to use Emercoin Blockchain Engine and EMCSSH as both service and web-wallet with the subscription of Microsoft Azure. This will give a complete ready-to-use “turn-key” solution, which does not require extra settings and installations.

“The Blockchain Engine platform by Emercoin provides the following services: Emercoin client, EMCSSH Authentication, and the EMC Web Wallet,” Microsoft Azure website stated. “To check the status of the blockchain, simply execute the command ‘emc getinfo’.”

Emercoin says that the solution can be used both as an independent online wallet with web access and as a blockchain subsystem for complex systems. Developers can create mobile or ‘lite’ application, accessing all functions of Emercoin blockchain.

Launched in December 2013, Emercoin is a digital currency and blockchain service platform. In January this year, Emercoin joined the Microsoft Azure program and became one of the first partners and blockchain implementing service providers. Earlier in April, the Emer Group announced the launch of its own blockchain development platform: Blockchain Engine designed for developers to create applications and services on the Emer blockchain.

Microsoft Azure which started in November 2015 and is a growing collection of integrated cloud services—analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage, and web. It has seen new members joining its Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) program on a regular basis since its inception.
