Of the many blockchains that are out there, only a handful are really thinking about how to satisfy the requirements of enterprises interested in public distributed ledger technology (DLT) for digital transformation, industry disruption, stakeholder engagement, or business innovation. 

While he was in Austin, TX to cover Consensus 2023, Blockchain Journal editor-in-chief David Berlind interviewed Robert Viglione, CEO of Horizen Labs, the engineering organization that supports the Horizen blockchain and its protocol token: ZEN. 

One of Horizen's key areas of focus when it comes to serving enterprises is about Zero-Knowledge or ZK cryptographic technology. In the interview, Viglione discusses how ZK technologies make it possible for the different stakeholders in a blockchain-based multi-party transparency use case to draw certain conclusions (for example financial conclusions) from batches of transactions without actually revealing the underlying details of those transactions. For example, if a transaction represented the settlement of an invoice, the amount may be known and so too is the fact that it was for an invoice. But other details regarding the invoice such as what goods or services the invoice was for or even who it was to can be kept private. 

Viglione also discussed the forthcoming introduction of an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to Horizen's mainnet (blockchain industry jargon for the actual production public blockchain and not the non-production or "testnet" version). Some of the enterprise-targeted public blockchains have strategically embraced the EVM as the means through which their public distributed ledgers will support enterprise needs for custom blockchain application development. As more chains gravitate towards the EVM as their virtual machine of choice, enterprises can seek solace in those chains knowing that the EVM is becoming a defacto industry standard,  making it easier to switch public ledgers should the need arise without having to recode their applications from scratch. It is akin to the comfort that enterprises have traditionally appreciated in the multiple Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) offerings on the market and the flexibility that was similarly afforded to enterprises by virtue of the JEE standard.

Why Enterprises Would Be Wise to Choose an EVM-Compatible Chain: Horizen Labs CEO

In this article, we’ll tell you how to move a virtual machine from Hyper-V hypervisor to ProxmoxVE.

Nowadays, virtualization has become an integral part of IT infrastructure, and many companies use all kinds of hypervisors to launch their apps and services. Sometimes, users may need to move a virtual machine from one hypervisor to another. In this case, if you have a virtual machine working on Hyper-V and you would like to transfer it to Proxmox, you may need additional information about how to do it properly. Below, we will explore the steps you need to take to move a virtual machine successfully from Hyper-V to Proxmox.

Why you need to move a virtual machine?
There can be a few reasons to make you want to transfer a virtual machine from Hyper-V to Proxmox:

Transition to a different virtualization platform. If you have a virtual machine which you would like to run on a different virtualization platform, you may have to transfer the machine to that platform.
Better performance. If you notice that your virtual machine works too slowly or not too effectively on Hyper-V, moving it to Proxmox may improve the situation.
Software update. If you are planning to update your Proxmox or Hyper-V, you may need to transfer the virtual machine to a new platform.
Server failure. If one of the servers where the virtual machine is running suddenly breaks down, moving it to another server might be required to make sure that your work continues without any downtime.

In any of the cases I have listed, moving a virtual machine elsewhere could be the step you are required to take to preserve the system operability.
