Joyent

Joyent is a global cloud computing software and service provider, offering cloud computing solutions worldwide since 2004.

Joyent licenses its cloud software to service providers, like Dell, FirstServer Softbank, XYBASE and Uniserve, who provide cloud services to their own customers, and provides public cloud services to some of the most innovative companies in the world, such as LinkedIn, Gilt Groupe and Kabam.

Joyent offerings also include Platform-as-a-Service based on Node.js, the open source server-side JavaScript development environment that has been embraced by enterprises and telcos around the world, including Microsoft and HP.

Joyent’s Smart Technologies provide operating system virtualization, which is different from all other major cloud vendors who are focused on hardware virtualization. Joyent’s approach provides applications with better performance and cost effectiveness due to higher application density and hardware utilization in our Smart Technology stack.

Thousands of business-critical applications run on Joyent Smart Technologies, from small businesses to fortune 100 companies. Virtually every technology and language has proven to operate well on Joyent’s technology stack and applications have scaled from zero traffic to billions of page views per month.

Based in San Francisco with offices worldwide, Joyent is privately held and backed by Greycroft Partners and Intel Capital.
