What is the difference between a private blockchain and a corporate information system, because in both cases the servers are controlled by the same trust area?

Answer 1

If the blockchain is inside a corporate system and the servers are controlled by one person or group of people who can collude, then the blockchain is really no better than a regular DBMS. Often, customers are looking for a panacea in the blockchain for tasks that, in principle, can be solved by normal DBMS settings. I, being an architect in a system integrator, once dissuaded a customer from introducing blockchain into electronic document management, because. the same can be solved by digitally signing documents, and even arranging documents into a hierarchy by sewing the hash and ID of the parent document into the digital signature of the child document.

Answer 2

The data in the blockchain cannot be falsified, unlike the corporate information system in the general case.
