Modex, a blockchain database company, today announced the launch of their enterprise platform for simplified blockchain deployment. The Modex Blockchain Database (Modex BCDB) platform can enable enterprises to deploy their first blockchain project in days instead of months.
In addition to the platform launch, Modex is also announcing that among their pilot enterprise customers is Dietsmann, a global leader in energy maintenance and operations.
“With the launch of Modex BCDB, we’re excited to usher in a new era of enterprise blockchain adoption. We’ve developed Modex BCDB specifically with enterprise needs in mind in order to counteract the high barriers to adoption that have typically kept businesses on the sidelines. Our platform and customers prove that it is possible to leverage the benefits of a blockchain database without long development timelines or high implementation and consulting costs.”
– Mihai Ivascu, CEO and founder of Modex
Modex BCDB
Modex BCDB ensures data integrity, auditability, and security, all while integrating with an enterprise’s existing databases. Modex BCDB is deployed to work between your application and your existing databases, enabling data to be written to both the BCDB, as well as your existing database while allowing programmers to work within the systems they are already using.
This patented process enables greater security without sacrificing usability or engendering the need for additional training. BCDB also enables enterprises to easily permission data based on employee needs or regulatory compliance, like GDPR or HIPAA.
“Over the last 40 years, we have managed to gain the trust of the biggest actors in our industries, oil and gas, nuclear and mining, operating all around the world in high-risk conditions, delivering the best maintenance solutions. Trust is the new currency today, and we’re happy to build that further by better processing the data and delivering better results for our clients, teams, and environment. Blockchain is one of the cutting edge technologies that will significantly benefit Dietsmann’s Data Lab and help us not just secure our sensitive information but also open new ways of collaborating with our main clients and suppliers. Modex Blockchain Database infrastructure allows Dietsmann to be up and running on a private blockchain infrastructure at low cost in a matter of days, with high efficiency and minimal effort from our technical team.”
– Peter Kutemann, President and Founder of Dietsmann
Modex BCDB has been deployed to customers across the financial, retail, transportation, healthcare, public administration, and energy sectors.
Key features of the Modex BCDB platform include:
Easy Deployment
- Deployed on-prem or in any cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
- Inserted between the server-side code and your existing databases to allow data to be read from both the BCDB or your database directly.
Data Security and Traceability
- Ensure the integrity of your data by validating the record signature with a copy stored in the blockchain immutable ledger.
- Reconstruct any unauthorized record modification by restoring the data to the original version.
Real-Time Backup
- Maintain full data nodes capable of reconstructing new BCDB instances from scratch for every lost data node.
- Eliminate the need for storage-intensive snapshots.
Regulatory Compliance
- Define sub-networks to achieve specific configuration for the restriction of data synchronization.
- Achieve data synchronization on the group level data based on regulatory needs related to industry and geography.
Encryption
- Default, continuous encryption.
- Database agnostic.
Pay-per-Use with Customized Enterprise Pricing
- License-based, with a pay-as-you-go model.
- Certain number of free transactions to support the growth of new adopters.
Founded in 2017 by Mihai Ivascu, Modex began as a platform for developers to help them build DApps without learning blockchain-specific code. Upon realizing the challenges of blockchain extended beyond development into deployment itself, the company sought a way to bring blockchain to businesses.
Modex has offices in London, Gibraltar, Bucharest, and a newly opened Silicon Valley location, where the team will focus on business development. The company employs over 60 developers, business architects, and designers.
