Introduction
The Friend Unifying Platform is a powerful open source framework that will allow developers to decouple their applications from technology silos. It will empower developers to swiftly deploy on and integrate with Ethereum and other decentralized technologies in a new blockchain based cloud infrastructure, the Friend Network - where participants share ownership over the infrastructure and get rewarded in tokens. Friend can be described as one of the first Blockchain operating systems. It can be accessed online in a browser tab or installed natively on top of Linux, allowing users and developers to sign in with their Friend accounts online or on their notebooks offline. The Friend Network enables secure, global access to personal virtual Friend Cloud Computers that simplify, augment and enhance the use of and access to the Ethereum blockchain for everyone that is connected to the internet. Through this cloud computer network, decentralized applications can be deployed and distributed in seconds. Friend makes it easy to connect to diverse technologies and deploy them on the internet. It reduces development overhead by providing a functionality that covers user access, distribution, file management and much more.
Friend lets developers connect their applications to other apps running on the network to unleash functionality never seen before. Its technology enables creation of distributed systems that allow applications to share data and functionality - code, compute, and storage - dynamically and cooperatively among two, or many nodes to offer scale, efficiency, and truly best-of-breed features and capabilities across any work domains. Friend version 1.1 has already been built to run on existing infrastructures. It is ready for anyone to try at https://friendup.cloud/demo.
The virtual Friend Cloud Computer
Friend is built to allow for the easy creation of virtual Friend Cloud Computers. These can contain both application and storage setups, themes and workgroup memberships. These virtual Friend Cloud Computers will be accessible from any web enabled device. Friend aims to fully support mobile, notebook/PC, TV, VR and audio user interface formats. This way it can be used on everything from smartphones to emerging voice services like Siri and Alexa.
The Friend Unifying Platform today
The Friend platform has been in development since February, 2014. It is currently at version 1.1, having been released as open source software on GitHub. It is still in its infancy, but has reached an advanced stage of development and is operationally ready to use. The platform supports a wide range of cloud technologies and integrates them in one easy to use framework, simplifying how developers deploy and distribute applications to users. The platform is heavily influenced by the Cambridge Distributed Computing System, which was developed in the early 80s as a distributed operating system at Cambridge University. This system was an early re-think of Unix with several innovations on user interface and resource management
The Friend platform connects the user from any device using HTTPS or secure Websockets and provides simple and unified access to any application or storage service the user might need. Everything may be accessed through the same simple device adaptive user interface.
Empowering developers
Friend already allows developers to create applications that are accessible on any device capable of running a browser. This includes smartphones, tablets, VR systems, points of information/kiosks, PCs and TVs. The software can also be accessed using customized apps for both mobile and desktop operating systems. Friend lets developers write code once and deploy it easily to all web enabled devices. The platform provides a range of functionality and tools to simplify application development.
Zero deployment cost
Friend gives users access to a virtual cloud computer that is ready for use immediately upon logging in. It is a multitasking environment where organisations can create custom configurations for their different user groups and make onboarding fast and hassle-free. All aspects of the virtual Friend Cloud Computer can be modified: default applications, themes (Windows, iOS, Friend, Linux, other), and storage access control (both user- and group specific as well as personal and shared drives). Different sets of settings and links to resources can be stored as configuration or provisioning Templates. This way, your users will be able to focus on their tasks instead of losing time on setting up their personal accounts.
