Businesses have at last come to realize the many benefits of cloud computing. Still the industry is shrouded with security myths and misperception, which come into the way of mass adoption of cloud technology. Cloud computing purchasing decision should involve a lot of research on the part of the prospective cloud customers. Vendor security measures and detailed product information especially are the two major aspects that potential buyers should consider before making final purchasing decision.
Joyent is a company, which has developed and deployed an architecture that significantly extends security for both public and private cloud customers. Over its six-year history in the cloud computing market, Joyent has provided sophisticated infrastructure and application support to a wide range of businesses and services.
Joyent has recently published a whitepaper titled, Security in Public and Private Cloud Infrastructures. The paper gives the prospective cloud buyers a detailed idea about the Joyent Smart Technology solutions and how the company can improve cloud security when compared to traditional techniques.
In its white paper, Joyent said that security and cost effectiveness are two important aspects that should influence the decision making process of a cloud buyer. While private clouds do offer more control and better security when compared to a public cloud, many companies cannot afford one. Virtual private clouds can provide a cost-effective
alternative to building and maintaining a private cloud infrastructure and offer the same level of control.
In its white paper, Joyent has discussed how its Smart Technologies can provide an additional layer of security and control over cloud computing infrastructures. Joyent technology is woven throughout its public, private, and virtual private implementations, offering better segregation and segmentation of tenant data through its root-level architecture.
If you are looking for a cost effective and secure cloud solution, you can download the white paper Security in Public and Private Cloud Infrastructures to learn more about Joyent Smart Technologies, which are available through public lease of its cloud facilities. The technology on the one hand provides greater flexibility and scalability to Joyent’s customers, on the other hand, its unique security framework provides both broader and deeper protections to customer data and applications than common practices.
