Joyent

A Next Generation Private Cloud

Visit Joyent

Joyent is a private cloud platform that provides core compute, storage, networking, and security features and services globally.

The platform is built around open source technology, with a stated focus on microservices, containers, and multi-cloud architectures. Joyent identifies itself as a pioneer of public cloud, a founding member of CNCF, and a steward of Node.js, and notes that it was acquired by Samsung.
