Joyent Supports hi5 and Open Social
MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – March 13, 2008: Expands Social Networking partnerships by providing free Accelerators optimized for the Open Social platform.
Sun Microsystems
Joyent’s platform of Ruby on Rails applications, development tools and unique collaboration offerings run at a greater throughput and lower operational costs on Sun’s CoolThreads and AMD Opteron-based servers running OpenSolaris. Sun technology allows Joyent to give our community of users and developers access to a great platform at a low price, and offers Web 2.0 developers a powerful environment where they can scale their applications.
Sun Startup Essentials Program
Joyent is pleased to provide Sun’s server infrastructure to Sun Startup Essentials program participants in an on-demand, hosted environment at sharply discounted rates, utilizing the best servers and storage available.
So just how steep is the discount?
Members of the Sun Startup Essentials program will receive 25% off list price of all Joyent Accelerators. That’s right. 25% off.
Oh, we should mention with every Accelerator purchase, you also get Slingshot, our handy dandy mechanism that will cleanly synchronize online and offline data between a Rails Web application and a desktop application without you having to rewrite any of your code. The combination of Joyent’s Accelerators and Slingshot give Startups the competitive edge they require to get up and running fast, with the ability to scale as needed, and provide an environment where true online/offline applications can be supported.
I need to get me some of those Accelerators
