About Accelerator

Accelerators allow you to build out your infrastructure on an on-demand basis in small to large increments depending on your application’s needs. We like to call it ‘no-leash computing’. Joyent Accelerators are next-generation virtual computers that grow and multiply (or shrink and consolidate) depending on the real world demands faced by your Web application. Add in the fact Joyent’s Accelerators are the exact same infrastructure that the Joyent Connector utilizes, and you now have the perfect one stop solution for all your business needs – all working seamlessly together.

Since every Accelerator has guaranteed minimum CPU resources that are burstable up to 95% of the total CPU resources of a given server, think of an Accelerator as fractional private jet ownership. And the benefits don’t end there. Joyent Accelerators are built on OpenSolaris, multi-processors, multi-core, RAM-rich servers, and vast amounts of NAS storage. Accelerators are deployed in the best routing and switching fabric (Force 10) and the best load-balancers (F5 Networks) available (and always will be).

So why commit to the prop-plane at the dedicated server hosting provider, or the lock-in of the proprietary virtual hosting providers, when you can have the portability of OpenSolaris and access to carrier-grade infrastructure for the same price as the discounters?

Own a jet. It is so much cooler.
