Current partnerships/memberships: - OpenFog Consortium - Ethereum Entreprise Alliance - Intel (close collab for SGX integration, they are developing together a market prediction application) - Ubisoft - Chinese Academy of Science - Tsinguha Universtiy Accelerator (chinese MIT) - Inria (french MIT) - CNRS (biggest public research facility in Europe) - Stimergy (green datacenter company) - Cloud&Heat (green cloud computing company) - Request (payment and smart audit decentralized network) - Flixxo (distributed streaming service by the creator of Popcorn Time) - Shopin (decentralized shopper) - Signals (quant trading platform)
The program by EOM : - new cloud provider revealed (big one) - V2 released (first professional cloud providers will offer services on the marketplace, then it should go totally open soon after)
>The engineers behind it are 3 PhD in grid computing who developed numerous softwares (Bitdew, XtremWeb-HEP, etc...) used by scientific institutions (like the CERN) and continuously published research and algorithms during the last 20 years (see scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&q=gilles fedak&oq=gille ). They worked to deploy the European Desktop Grid Infrastructure and for numerous big companies through Inria (Orange and Airbus among others). SONM and Golem teams are decades behind in terms of expertise.
>The cloud computing market was evaluated at $290 billions last year and some forecasts say it could reach $410 billions in 2020, I let you meditate on these numbers and the possibilities of iExec once the V2 will be released. I own some LINK myself but I think a decentralized marketplace for computer resources is an even bigger deal than decentralized Oracles, the first to do it well will be basically the « Gas Pump » of automation and bring such a leap forward in terms of efficiency compared to how computing ressources are managed these days (badly).
>No blockchain can scale without a second layer like iexec, even the projects promising hundreds of thousands or millions of tx/s (EOS, Cardano, Ziliqa, etc…) can’t handle computation of medium and surely not heavy tasks, they never will (with classical computing at least). I give you two example related to their partnerships: smart audits and video encoding/transcoding. Auditing these days implies to treat a lot of datas with reasonably complex algorithms, with video encoding it’s the same but even worse.
Trivia: Gilles Fedak (the Founder) was invited to have a breakfast with the french minister of economy and finance 2 days ago.
Look at what I posted here The Intel executive was on the scene with the iexec developpers, he explained during 15 minutes how they are developing a market prediction application together using Iexec and SGX. Also they told that Intel and Iexec will open and lead a work group on private distributed computing in the EEA together (Enigma absolutely blown the fuck out). There isn't a replay of the Consensus presentation available right now sadly
But the guys trying to downplay the partnerships are all buttblasted SONM and Golem bagholders seeing that big players are reaching to iexec more and more, they were already salty as fuck last time when Iexec was invited at the last second ath the IBM Think in February.
By the way Lei Zhang, one of the iexec dev, has worked 2 years as Senior Software Engineer at an Intel R&D facility.
Yeah, I'm an idiot, so many connections and partnerships that I'm losing the count.
