Joyent Offers Free Cloud Infrastructure Software So Enterprises Can Run Self-Service Clouds in Their Own Data Centers

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jun 19 (Marketwire) --
Joyent, the cloud infrastructure performance company, today announced
free access to its private cloud infrastructure software,
SmartDataCenter. Enterprise customers can quickly stand up a
high-performance private cloud with a production license of Joyent
SmartDataCenter, the modern infrastructure software that powers Joyent
Cloud. The license offer provides companies the ability to stand up a
fully functional cloud in their data center in a single afternoon.

"For the first time, enterprises can run a true public cloud inside their
data center, providing the kind of functionality that developers demand
while maintaining full control over their infrastructure and
applications," said Steve Tuck, SVP and General Manager of Joyent. "This
allows corporate IT to be a better service provider than AWS."

Joyent SmartDataCenter is the only cloud infrastructure software designed
and tested at scale in a public cloud: Joyent Cloud, the
high-performance, mission-critical environment that powers mobile
applications, e-commerce sites, social networks and online games for
customers like LinkedIn, Voxer, and ModCloth. SmartDataCenter is also the
only industrial-strength cloud infrastructure that offers a single cloud
stack, built from the ground up to power today's data intensive real time
(DIRTy) web and mobile applications.

Customers who have moved to the Joyent Cloud from conventional cloud
infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services, Softlayer or Rackspace have
reported significant performance gains since making the switch.

"We tested the Joyent Cloud when we were using other public cloud
services, and we could immediately see how much faster Joyent's
infrastructure was running. That's important for a rapidly growing online
retail company like ours, where every millisecond of wait time impacts
our customers' shopping experience," said Blake Irvin, Systems
Engineering Manager at ModCloth, the popular clothing site.

For over 20,000 global customers, Joyent has developed its cloud
infrastructure based on a singular vision of creating a highly scalable
and cost effective platform for the next generation of web and mobile
applications where downtime thresholds are measured in seconds, not days.

Joyent's Better Way Initiative provides customers with an instant
download of Joyent SmartDataCenter for a period of one year.

Joyent SmartDataCenter cloud infrastructure software stands apart from
any other infrastructure software by offering these unique advantages:

-- World's most modern, efficient architecture, which uses 30% less
hardware compared to any other cloud software, and means sharply
reduced hardware and capital costs combined with superior performance
-- Unmatched performance that is 3 to 14 times faster than standard
operating systems
-- Infinite scalability without loss in efficiency, which means doubling
the number of servers delivers more than double the performance,
compared to other virtualization solutions that erode performance
gains from additional hardware
-- Superior security that surpasses other multi-tenant virtualization
solution by providing the only double-hulled virtualization
infrastructure software available. Joyent SmartDataCenter "containers"
protect each customer's data in their own exclusive container.
-- Unmatched performance visibility through Cloud Analytics that measure
latency at every level of the software stack, from kernel through to
the application serving the end user
