Most folks who know the name Joyent associate it with Node.js. But it's also a cloud provider with a custom-built, in-house platform that's been quietly competing with Amazon and Google.
With the latest version of its SmartDataCenter private cloud, though, Joyent means to compete directly with a different class of product: private-cloud solutions like OpenStack.
SmartDataCenter supports a broad range of operating systems and virtualization technologies, and it features a container-based approach to managing applications that was derived from Solaris and built specifically for multitenancy. Joyent also features strong Node.js support and integration for SmartDataCenter, along with high-grade debugging solutions.
