We Sell SmartMachines

SmartMachines run applications very, very well. SmartMachines come with four very powerful characteristics which collectively set them apart from all other cloud computing services today, regardless of the operating system you choose to run.
1. Reliability and Resiliency. Starting with an enterprise grade file system and volume manager (ZFS) you are ensured absolute data integrity and consistency. ZFS running on top of the industry’s best hardware and networks means that your cloud service is incredibly reliable..
2. Performance and Scale. Run exceptionally fast Linux and Windows SmartMachines which take advantage of premier Disk I/O and Network I/O. Run SmartOS SmartMachines to access dynamic bursting into large pools of CPU and intelligent data caching which accelerates Read I/O up to 15x.
3. Observability. New Joyent Cloud Analytics from Joyent provides the first ever tool that provides granular insights into real time latency from kernel to application. With this tool you can narrow down sources of latency to specific processes inside your SmartMachine and measure latency in miliseconds.
4. Security. Joyent Cloud SmartMachines run in containers which effectively create a steel wall around your Joyent Machine Image (JMI). This prevents internal attacks and ensures you can run trusted applications in a multi-tenancy environment..
