SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 10/24/11 — Joyent, a global cloud computing software and service provider that offers an integrated technology suite designed for service providers, enterprises, and developers, will be presenting keynote speaker Jason Hoffman at this year-s OpenStorage Summit in San Jose on October 26-27. The company will also demonstrate its SmartOS and SmartDataCenter software products in real time at the event.
Joyent has experienced dramatic growth as a global cloud software and service provider, due in part to the emergence of open standards as the ideal solution for cloud deployments. As a Nexenta Partner and member of the Illumos Foundation, Joyent offers service providers an end-to-end cloud services and storage solution that is simply unattainable by Amazon and other legacy cloud providers.
“We are committed to the success of Illumos, and have created our own operating system, SmartOS, based upon it,” said Jason Hoffman, Founder and CTO of Joyent. “We built SmartOS, the most modern operating system available, using Illumos because we wanted cloud providers and systems companies to benefit from the operating system-level virtualization that eliminates inefficiencies and improves performance. Together with Nexenta, we are providing the best combination of compute and storage for profitable cloud services.”
Because Joyent-s approach to cloud software and services is completely different from that of all other major cloud vendors, the company is able to deliver unprecedented economies of scale and competitive advantages to service providers, enterprises, and developers in the form of higher hardware utilization and margins, and in compute performance and scalability.
“The increased implementations of OpenStorage standards define a clear departure from the monolithic legacy storage of the past,” said Evan Powell, CEO of Nexenta Systems. “Strategic partnerships like the one Nexenta enjoys with Joyent are driving the momentum toward open source solutions. And customers are taking note. These partnerships allow service providers to move away from legacy solutions to implement storage that is optimized for cloud and virtualization projects.”
