This OBP edition is ideal for customers who, because of various data sovereignty or data residence issues, can not deploy in Oracle Cloud. It gives them an independently-installable version of Oracle Blockchain Platform built on Docker containers and delivered as a pre-built VM image for multiple virtualization options:
- Oracle VirtualBox (v5.x or 6.0 or later)
- Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (v4.2.8.2-1.0.8.el7 or later)
- VMware vSphere ESXi v6.7
The Enterprise Edition is based on HL Fabric 1.4.1 (just like the current cloud version) and provides feature parity with the cloud version, with the same APIs for application portability and improved REST support (see documentation for some REST API v2 changes.) It also supports hybrid and multi-cloud networks via interoperability with OBP Cloud PaaS in Oracle Cloud and Hyperledger Fabric on-premise or in 3rd party clouds.
