KODAKOne Targeting the Blockchain-based Image Market with MapR

Energy CIO Insights | Thursday, January 24, 2019

Blockchain has enormous potential, and business leaders worldwide are increasingly looking for ways to apply the technology to specific industries and environments. This technology raises awareness in the industries that are interested in information security and decentralization. One of them is photography. Modern photography uses gigabytes of data so that the information can be secured on the blockchain. Once registered, the data cannot be changed.

The Kodak Company has been focusing on imaging for decades and has been responsible for several of today’s photographic innovations. Kodak continues to work for excellence in image creation and support the photographers’ creativity.

KODAKOne is a revolutionary blockchain platform that seamlessly registers, manages, and monetizes digital assets. Its ability to identify the creator of any image and extract its data immutably on the blockchain solves one of the industry’s biggest problems since no image can be legally marketed unless the owner identifies it. This will change the way in which billions of uploaded digital images and videos will be used in the future. The platform will create an encrypted asset of rights for photographers to protect, manage, and monetize their new and archived works by making it much cheaper and faster to register, move, and sell digital images.

Recently, KODAKOne announced that, for a range of data services and digital asset storage, it would utilize the MapR data platform. It is the data platform leveraging AI and analytics.

Volker Brendel, CTO at KODAKOne, said, “With MapR technology, we benefit from stability, speed, flexibility, and security while also reducing our platform transaction costs massively in the short, mid and long term.”

MapR will provide all KODAKOne platform data services with enterprise-ready software and will help to ensure compliance with the internal processing and data access of KODAKOne. It can combine different data services within a single platform using multiple data centers. Several global cloud providers offer the KODAKOne platform with the power it needs to develop quickly. It also offers data services for end users while simultaneously enabling KODAKOne to scale safely and add new applications as required.
