Cloud computing, a promising business concept, is considered as a way to raise the capacity or add capabilities without investing in new infrastructure within an organization. Under a partnership, Joyent, a provider of cloud computing solutions and technologies, and m2mi, (Machine-to-Machine Intelligence Corporation), a maker of network orchestration and automation products in the cloud M2M market have joined hands to offer network automation.

According to a press release, the combination of Joyent’s SmartDataCenter 6.0, including a native Node.js run time and DTrace latency introspection, with m2mi’s patented network virtualization and Machine-to-Machine technologies will enable Joyent and m2mi to jointly deliver federated cloud solutions to select customers that have existing and disparate data center locations, multi-vendor equipment and are interested in completely comprehending their datacenter infrastructure.

The partnership of both companies will add Machine-To-Machine services to Joyent’s already comprehensive Infrastructure-as-a-Service Platform. These services will add automated rapid provisioning and change management as well as advanced security, responsive performance, autonomous SLA and compliance services throughout Joyent’s cloud technology stack within an organization.

David Young (News - Alert), CEO of Joyent said that the network is one of the hardest components of the cloud to operate and automate correctly because it requires a complex understanding of orchestration and multi-vendor interoperability and this collaboration will enable customers with complex requirements and multi-vendor datacenters to fully leverage the power of the cloud. He added that the consumers gain the benefits of Joyent’s cloud operating system with introspection tools for root cause analysis, and the security and visibility that is provided by a federated view of infrastructure.
