SmartDataCenter manages multi-tenant cloud environments through a virtual data center, making it work like a single computer. This cloud infrastructure platform provides the ultimate in performance, reliability, and flexibility.
SmartDataCenter platforms are specific computing environments that deliver application capabilities as a service or bundle different required capabilities into a single service delivery vehicle for development, operation and management of production applications in verticals such as mobile, gaming and ecommerce.
Joyent SmartMachines are virtual machines running SmartOS, Windows or Linux operating systems. Joyent also makes purpose-built SmartMachine appliances for specialized computing tasks, including load balancers, databases, and application development and runtime environments.
Joyent SmartOS provides a comprehensive, secure environment combining best of breed technologies that deliver complete hardware and operating system virtualization, enterprise and carrier grade storage, and analytics.
SmartDataCenter runs on a wide range of hardware platforms built on the Intel x86 architecture, a popular and well-regarded chip architecture that has become the standard for enterprise hardware the world over.
Node.js™ is an event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment pioneered by Joyent and capable of supporting 35 times more connections than Java. Node.js is used for ultra high performance and resource efficiency in SmartDataCenter.
Joyent Cloud Analytics provides visibility into all aspects of SmartDataCenter clouds, identifying potential network, compute, and application faults that could otherwise take hours, or days, to isolate and resolve.
Utilization
Unused hardware and over-provisioning are wastes of money. Applications on Joyent regularly use over 70% of hardware capacity, compared to 6% or less for virtualized or traditional hardware and operating systems. Joyent’s bursting, resource pooling, and performance enhancements also reduce the need to over-provision.
Performance
Applications succeed or fail based on performance. Joyent consistently taps into under-utilized resources (e.g., CPU, memory, network) to provide best-in-class application performance. Joyent is consistently 3X-14X faster than competitors, like Amazon Web Services, on cloud benchmarks.
Scalability
Applications need to handle dynamic loads to survive. Joyent provides dynamic vertical scaling to handle unexpected or planned traffic spikes as well as horizontal build-out to support application growth over time. Joyent has helped many applications grow from hundreds to millions of users without any downtime.
Comprehension
Joyent collects and presents real-time and historical data at the macro-level of the cloud as well as the micro-level of functional calls. Root cause analyses of degradations in performance and utilization enable operators and their customers to troubleshoot web applications.
Security
Security cannot be an afterthought in the cloud. Joyent is the only cloud software provider that delivers persistent, enterprise-class IaaS and PaaS with integrated security. Joyent is built from the ground up to provide web application and company level isolation.
The software stack is the cornerstone of Joyent’s cloud computing prowess. With a seven-year legacy in the cloud, Joyent developed the full software stack for its SmartDataCenter play, which it offers to service providers to deliver their own cloud services.
[Joyent] is differentiating itself by catering to conservative customers that want to build...clouds. Joyent’s SmartDataCenter software brings the Joyent public-cloud experience in-house, complete with IaaS and PaaS capabilities. As far as I know, it’s the only cloud provider actually selling its secret sauce to individual companies and service providers to run on their own infrastructure...
