As any kind of computer networks, BlockChain based networks can be implemented locally as well as globally. DeBuNe offers local, private or semi private BlockChain network deployment, to benefit from its secure document and asset management system while keeping complete control over the availability of your data.

Blockchain technologies
With the raising popularity of cryptocurrencies, it has become easy to see their underlying technology -the BlockChain- as a mean to form worldwide networks of interconnected computers. Systems such as MaidSafe and Factum are, for instance, state of the art applications of what a global blockchain network can achieve beyond managing ‘coins’.
From this point on, there is only a couple of steps toward envisaging BlockChain technologies as the base of what could be not just another approach to the Web, but a change of course for the whole Internet.
What both enthusiasts and professionals tend to overlook, though, is the possibility for a BlockChain network to be used locally, in the manner of our good old Intranets.
The latest breakthroughs in the DeBuNe crypto platform have enhanced its technology to implement file storage and user management, both at its core and API. These features are now available for private/local deployment, enabling the collaborative and secure use of ETR unique encrypted documents, asset management, token management and many other features at enterprise level.
The good news about local BlockChain networks is that they can be either fully or semi private. A fully private network will not accept connection from anyone but internally managed users, while a semi private network will allow users to register themselves, consult a pre-defined set of data and, optionally, perform a pre-defined set of actions via a web interface.
Ultimately, whether you chose a semi or fully private BlockChain solution, you will always keep control over who sees what data.
What are the benefits of a local BlockChain network?
The latest breakthroughs in the DeBuNe crypto platform have enhanced its underlying BlockChain technology enable file storage and user rights management, both at its core and API. These features are now available for private, local deployment.
At enterprise level, it means that DeBuNe can now implement solutions that facilitate:
- The use of ETR unique, encrypted digital documents
- Digital Identities Management
- Collaborative document management
- Granular document access management
- Internal workflow automation/integration
- Private token management
- Private asset management
- Document ownership management
Keeping control
The good news about local BlockChain networks is that they can be either fully or semi private. A fully private network will not accept connection from anyone but internally managed users, while a semi private network will allow users to register themselves, consult a pre-defined set of data and, optionally, perform a pre-defined set of actions via a web interface.
Ultimately, whether you chose a semi or fully private BlockChain solution, you will always keep control over who sees what data.
