What is a blockchain?

Blockchain is a transparent and verifiable system which will change the way people think about exchanging value and assets, enforcing contracts, and sharing data. The technology is a shared, secure ledger of transactions distributed among a network of computers, rather than resting with a single provider. Businesses are using blockchain as a common data layer to enable a new class of applications. Now, business processes and data can be shared across multiple organizations, which eliminates waste, reduces the risk of fraud, and creates new revenue

"Our customers' IT environments are getting more and more complex.They could have an employee working on an iPad in Hawaii on a Sunday night.To manage this complexity, we use Operations Management Suite, and they benefit from increased visibility and control. Instead of spending a couple of hours searching a server for an anomaly, we can use the Log Analytics to create custom dashboards and save search queries."
