Deploy Constellation Nodes Using
Constellation Network signed a partnership with StackPath to make it easy and cost-effective for node operators and clients to spin up virtual instances, connect to a distributed network, and earn cryptocurrency for validating data.
The Partnership Vision
The partnership with StackPath enables Constellation’s clients to have plug-and-play functionality in a cloud infrastructure. Additionally, it will enable Constellation’s node operator community, and network to easily test and deploy virtual instances/nodes in a commercial environment. This partnership will push the needle in making it easy for blockchain technology to be adopted by real-world use cases and businesses with edge computing needs.
Why StackPath
StackPath Edge Computing vs. Cloud Computing
The advantage is simple. Data hits our advanced edge locations up to 2.6x faster than centralized cloud provider data centers. That gives your latency-priority applications and services significant performance advantages, as well as the power to reduce overall network traffic charges.
