Joyent just expanded its line of application hosting technologies for building and hosting Web applications with the launch of its new cloud hosting solutions for Windows and Linux.

According to Joyent, the new solution provides an optimized environment for the “development and delivery of high-volume, high-traffic Web applications on the Enterprise and Standard editions of Windows, CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu operating systems.”

According to Joyent CEO David Young (News - Alert), the new solution helps clients who want to move on to the cloud but are restricted with an existing app that is built on Windows or Linux OS.

The company is providing them with a platform to support their seamless migration directly onto the Joyent cloud where they can leverage their exclusive smart computing infrastructure to gain reliable, peak performance at all times, Young added.

The Joyent platform provides an environment optimized for Web application development that delivers the highest level of performance in disk I/O and memory I/O, improved CPU speed and reduced network latency, and best-in-class price to performance ratio.

According to Young, the platform comes bundled with a full set of integrated solutions that enable clients to deliver the high degree of responsiveness and reliability required for today's real-time Web apps.

“With on-demand scalability that provides unparalleled support for peaks and valleys, Joyent's new Windows/Linux platform provides a robust, reliable and secure solution to support enterprise migration to the cloud,” Young added.

The new Windows and Linux solutions are available at Joyent datacenters.

Joyent provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service to companies. Recently Panvidea, a provider of technology-enabled digital media services, selected Joyent’s Smart Technology infrastructure to serve as the underlying computing architecture of its professional video service.
