A Comparison of Consensus Algorithms

- by Charlie Meneses

In the world of blockchain technology, there are numerous different consensus algorithms. Some of these are better suited to short-term considerations and others are better suited for long-term use. This article will cover each of the most popular consensus algorithms in detail, and help you decide which one best fits your needs.

Proof of Work

Proof of work is a system that requires a computer to find a solution to a mathematical problem before it can add its block to the blockchain. The difficulty of this task varies depending on how much effort is being put into mining across the network. In proof-of-work systems, miners must compete with one another in order to be awarded new bitcoins or transaction fees paid by users sending transactions across the network.

In addition, proof-of-work systems make it more difficult for someone (or some entity) who does not own any computing power themselves but …

Understanding Firewalls and Adware

- by Charlie Meneses

If you’re like me, then you have a lot of questions about firewalls and adware. It can be confusing to know what kind of firewall is installed on your computer and how to turn it on or off, or even what adware means in the first place. In this blog post I’ll break down exactly what these terms mean and give some tips for protecting yourself from them both.

What is a firewall?

A firewall is a software or hardware barrier that prevents unauthorized access to or from a private network. A firewall can be a dedicated appliance (a physical device), or it can be software running on one or more computers in your home.

Firewalls are used to protect your computer, your network and your privacy. They help keep hackers out, prevent malware from infecting computers within the network and block unauthorized users who try to access information on …

How Multi-Tenancy Works In The Data Center

- by Charlie Meneses

Multi-tenancy is a way to separate tenants in the same data center. It creates a virtualized layer between tenants and service providers, so they don’t have to share anything. Tenants are assigned a dedicated compute environment. They create their own OS images, select their own software applications, configure their own network settings and manage their own security policies. Multi-tenancy saves money for both providers and tenants by enabling each party to scale their infrastructure independently. For example, if one tenant needs more computing power, they can make that change without affecting other tenants. This provides flexibility in terms of scaling up or down an environment as needed by the tenant. Each tenant’s workloads are isolated from other tenants’ workloads at all layers of the datacenter–from compute to storage to networking–which eliminates any potential conflicts.”
