Enterprise blockchain management tool for distributed integration
What is Angus?
Angus Integration offers an innovative Enterprise Hyperledger Fabric blockchain management ecosystem that supports simple distributed infrastructure’s development, deployment, and maintenance of business integrations.
With Angus, a native and seamless integration between massive corporate systems and the enterprise blockchain could be achieved, resulting a more predictable Time to Market and ROIs with a blockchain adaptation.
Angus abstracts the complexity of the development and operation of blockchain-based enterprise solutions, making them more accessible, scalable, and manageable for existing skillsets across both on-premise and cloud infrastructures. It achieves that by transforming blockchain development and maintenance needs into industry standard DevOps and LiveOps stacks, simplifying and fastening the onboarding process for development.
Performance
Crypto based public blockchains are slow, costly and uncontrollable
Scale
HLF backed Angus is highly customisable, highly affordable and rapidly scalable on demand
Adaptation
Postponed blockchain adaptations due to unpredictable ROIs, accessibility and security
Expand
Angus offers rapid and effective blockchain integration without advanced in-house technological expertise or vast resources
Orchestration
Lack of on-premise environment or multi-cloud integration supports
Enhance
Native Kubernetes cluster support with full authority to seamlessly deploy blockchain networks on any cloud or on-premise cluster.
Control
Having vendor locking
Gain back
Angus provides vendor independency and data portability: hosting blockchain in arbitrary multi-cloud(s) or client's own server farms
Why Angus
Multi-network support
Create or join effortlessly other Angus and multiple distributed multi-cloud HLF networks on your preferred cloud or on-premise infrastructure.
On-premise environment support with full enterprise integration
Take your data and Kubernetes infrastructure under higher control, even if it is hosted in an arbitrary cloud or in your own server farms.
Vendor independency
System administrators can use their own specialists for managing their infrastructure where they have their own rules/processes. By utilising industry standard approaches, Angus blockchain infrastructure would make integration into a seamless and effortless experience.
Wide range of network deployments
GUI, command line, kubernetes manifest or REST API – seamlessly integrated into the existing CI/CD tools.
Simplified smart contract development
Angus provides easy-to-use libraries to make the development and testing tasks much more efficient. The smart contract services can be accessed industry-standards – Sync/async, REST, message queues, websocket, etc.
External database integration
Bring your RDBMS/OODB/NoSQL DBs to create real-time queries or reports based on the blockchain data.
Designed for performance
Easy manage automatic horizontal and vertical scaling for better optimisation.

How does Angus work?
Angus Integration is committed to fundamentally embrace a DevOps mindset in all our development approach from infrastructure, blockchain, all the way to different customer facing client development. This holistic approach fosters a culture of collaboration, transparency, and agility, enabling faster development and deployment cycles.
Angus Center
The Central hub of all operations. It is a GUI web application, where the whole integration could be managed and maintained by DevOps operators.
- administrate HLF operations such as channel join, chaincode upgrade
- manages organisations within the consortium
- control user and account management
- certificate management, IAMs
- externally hosted: automatic updates/fixes, SLA guaranties
Angus CLI
Command line interface for handling angus operations, network configurations, manifests and other components
