Blockchain Technology Partners Launches Blockchain Management Platform Sextant on AWS Marketplace for Containers

Comprehensive platform will radically simplify enterprise adoption of
Hyperledger Sawtooth, the best emerging open source blockchain
technology for business

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Hyperledger—AWS re:Invent 2018 – Blockchain Technology Partners, the leading
enterprise blockchain company, today announced the general availability
of Sextant™, its powerful blockchain management platform, on Amazon Web
Services (AWS) Marketplace for Containers. Sextant unlocks the value of
blockchain for business. It accelerates innovation by providing
enterprises with a platform that they can build upon; ensuring that they
focus on business application development, not blockchain infrastructure.

“AWS Marketplace for Containers enables AWS customers to use the Amazon
Elastic Container Services (ECS) console and AWS Marketplace for
Containers to discover, produce, and deploy container solutions –
including a comprehensive blockchain management platform from Blockchain
Technology Partners,” said Dave McCann, Vice President Migration
Services, AWS Marketplace and Service Catalog. “With today’s
announcement, AWS Marketplace has extended its existing benefits and
features to container products, with a rich discovery and search
experience offering access to a curated catalog of trusted software from
reputable vendors. AWS customers can find and deploy Sextant and
simplify the deployment of Hyperledger Sawtooth.”

“We are excited to be part of the AWS Marketplace for Containers launch
at AWS re:Invent 2018 and we are delighted to be able to leverage AWS
Fargate to streamline the delivery of Sextant to our customers,” said
Duncan Johnston-Watt, CEO of Blockchain Technology Partners. “With the
help of Sextant, enterprises can navigate blockchain management with
ease and, with the launch of AWS Marketplace for Containers, they can be
up and running and exploring the brave new world of blockchain in no
time at all.”

BTP has identified Hyperledger Sawtooth as the best emerging open source
blockchain technology for the enterprise on the basis of its support for
Ethereum smart contracts, its pluggable consensus mechanism and its
scalable, highly modular architecture. In addition, the clear separation
between the network and the application tiers makes it exceptionally
easy for developers to create new blockchain applications leveraging
existing code and applying existing programming best practices.

Sextant is a comprehensive blockchain management platform that utilizes
a carefully curated Hyperledger Sawtooth distribution – built, tested
and maintained by BTP – to deliver one-click deployment of
enterprise-grade Sawtooth networks. These networks can either be
standalone – typically the case if a developer is testing a new
blockchain application or smart contract – or join existing Sawtooth
networks.

Sextant is cloud-first, and Kubernetes is the logical choice for
production-grade orchestration. Under the covers Sextant automatically
generates Kubernetes manifests so that Sawtooth can either be deployed
on existing Kubernetes clusters or on brand new ones deployed by Sextant
on AWS using Kubernetes Operations.
