Joyent

Overview

Joyent started out by offering a platform that enabled collaboration with shared applications like email, contacts, calendaring, and file sharing. Today, they're a cloud computing provider offering a line of virtualized servers called Joyent Accelerators, which businesses use to power large-scale web sites and web applications. Companies like ABC/Disney, LinkedIn, and MLB.com use Joyent to power their web businesses.

Businesses rely on Joyent as an alternative to investing in their own IT infrastructure. They give companies a more flexible and cost-effective way to handle their infrastructure needs, thus enabling them with greater speed and flexibility when it comes to deploying and managing applications, while still maintaining the same levels of security and performance of a dedicated data center.

Value Proposition

Customers rely on Joyent's cloud infrastructure, rather than maintaining their own, to gain flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quicker time-to-market.
