When people say blockchain, most people think of Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency that has real value. However, blockchain is more than just about cryptocurrencies. It's an entire platform that allows users to develop all new software tools not even remotely related to what exists today. The implications of blockchain are profound and span from major growth in data center applications, to innovation in data center design, to software used in HVAC applications.
