SONM Presents its MVP for Christmas

- SONM, the Decentralized Supercomputer Platform, is set to release its MVP (Minimum Viable Product) on Christmas Day, providing an early present for those excited to see a preview of its massive potential. The release of this beta version of the SONM platform will offer developers an opportunity to test the range of fog computing services offered by SONM and to offer critical feedback and improvements ahead of its planned release to customers next summer. Powered by the Ethereum blockchain, SONM is a distributed worldwide system for peer-to-peer and general-purpose computing, implemented as a fog computing structure. It provides a viable and more cost-efficient alternative to cloud solutions and services by operating in the fog computing structure. SONM's resources are run on users' computers, which provides the benefits of reduced prices, an open infrastructure, and a common resource pool with unlimited, scalable and flexible computing power. In the SONM system, miners based around the world leverage their idle computer power to join the network which can be used for a series of applications. SONM rewards its community for sharing their processing power with SNM tokens. The MVP will feature SONM's marketplace service, a dedicated internal feature that collects buy and sell orders from consumers and suppliers of computing power. The MVP will also include worker nodes that perform user tasks, as well as client nodes that are installed on the consumer and supplier sides to interact with the SONM network. The service will run hub nodes, both in failover mode (a back-up operational setting) and in standalone mode (a state that is operable independent of other devices). In addition, the MVP will feature a locator service responsible for hub discovery and a set of smart contracts with test tokens. SONM CEO Sergey Ponomarev said: "This is a major milestone in the development of the SONM platform. The launch of the MVP ahead of schedule, less than six months after company was established, is a testament to the discipline, reliability, and creativity of the entire SONM team. The MVP will significantly accelerate the timetable required to fully develop the platform." The SONM team has identified a roadmap of key updates, commencing with the testnet releases, until the planned final product release in August 2018. The final product release will include features that make the system efficient for public use on a live network.  Contact:Anthony Burr, 07766459469, [email protected]
