Looming on the horizon for failing to comply is a dark cloud of significant financial penalties. “…Even if a blockchain or DLT-based system could ensure that data is kept private, and it is doubtful whether such a system can do so as they rely on any participant being able to validate any previous transaction in…

Data privacy is driving the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in the UK, and yet it’s widely felt that banks and other financial services institutions have run out of time to find ways to comply with the requirements.

Clint Boulton, for example, discusses it in his March 6 article at Asia Cloud Forum, “Edge Computing Will Blow Away the Cloud.” He cites venture capitalist Andrew Levine, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, who believes more…

One large global banking firm wanted the ability to back up, restore and recover their data from their datacentres. It thought it had to build another datacentre – not too close, not too far away from its existing datacentre. The thing is this company probably has the facilities it needs on site already.
