SAN FRANCISCO, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Game Developers Conference, Joyent (www.joyent.com) announced the availability of My.Joyent. The new easy to use web portal allows users of Joyent's Cloud Computing infrastructure to provision, organize, and manage a virtual data center through an easy to use web portal.  Operations managers will use My.Joyent to make both strategic and tactical decisions using a one-click setup and tear-down feature to manage their cloud infrastructure.

My.Joyent is a key new addition to Joyent's on-demand, highly scalable, cost-effective Cloud Computing infrastructure platform, which supports thousands of customers from rapidly growing startups to Fortune 500 companies.  An industry-leading suite of software solutions including Joyent Accelerator, Joyent Cloud Control, My.Joyent and Joyent Smart Platform make it possible for customers to quickly move from an idea to a popular web application without the prohibitive costs of large capital outlays and long-term vendor contracts while still getting all the stability, reliability, security and quality of fully managed, dedicated data centers.  Joyent's Public and Private Cloud solutions enable flexible approaches to integrating with existing infrastructure, or delivering an entire infrastructure in the cloud.  Joyent's software solutions are enhanced with Joyent Scale Services that provide world-class consulting to enable applications to run at peak efficiency.
