Customized Offering Empowers Digital Developers with Affordable, High-Performance, Instantly Scalable Dev/Build Resources to Meet Client Demands

    NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Joyent, the premiere provider of smart computing solutions (http://www.joyent.com ), today announced the launch of its Smart Solution for Digital Agencies, a new one-stop-shop program designed to meet the unique needs of digital development agencies with infinitely scalable capacity backed by professional services to empower innovation and reduce project start-up costs. Joyent debuted the new offering at Digital DUMBO #19 ( http://www.digitaldumbo.com ), a gathering of the technology community in the Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City.

    "Joyent has a long history of supporting the app development efforts of the most progressive digital agencies with the high-performance, stable capacity they need to rapidly scale their applications to meet client demands," said Adrian Ludwig, Vice President of Marketing with Joyent. "With this new Smart Solution, we looked at the whole production lifecycle and optimized our platform to deliver an end-to-end service tailored specifically to meet the needs of a digital agency, all the way from test dev through production and the infrastructure to deliver the entire campaign."

    Backed by Joyent's unique capacity to support rapid spin-up or spin-down of resources on demand, the new Smart Solution for Digital Agencies leverages Joyent's innovative Smart Technologies to provide critical resources for the creation of interactive content, games and media, including:

    - Free access to smart computing infrastructure during the build process
      to enable more efficient and affordable start-up and eliminate up-front
      investment in capacity to help protect critical cash flow, particularly
      when building on spec.

    - Free professional services from Joyent solution architects to assist
      agencies in effectively building high-scale, high-performance
      infrastructure, relieving agencies of the capacity management burden
      and allowing them to concentrate on innovation and creativity.

    - End-to-end infrastructure availability that eliminates the hand-off of
      assets when a project moves into production. This ability to provide
      complete campaign services-from development to delivery-reduces the
      risk of incompatibility and provides agencies with greater flexibility
      in meeting customers' needs.

    - Added revenue opportunities are available through a new reseller
      license program. Agencies can bundle discounted app delivery into their
      product pitch for a more comprehensive package, or take advantage of a
      referral compensation program for recommending the Joyent Smart
      Technologies to their clients.

     "Joyent delivers world class infrastructure that we rely on to launch massively scalable Facebook applications," said Rafi Jacoby, Director of Research and Development with Context Optional (http://www.contextoptional.com/ ), an award-winning social marketing company that helps Fortune 500 brands build, moderate and track their social presence. "Joyent understands the unique needs of developers and provides a service that enables our team to focus more on innovation and less on infrastructure management."

    Joyent partnered with Traffic Marketplace (http://www.trafficmarketplace.com ) to sponsor the Digital DUMBO #19 "Let's Get Social" mixer event at The Dumbo Loft in Brooklyn.
