Joyent

Joyent provides hosting, infrastructure, and application services for clients looking to run collaborative applications for their users.

Joyent competes with Engine Yard, another company offering similar infrastructure services to clients based on the Ruby on Rails platform, and 37 Signals Basecamp service.
