Performance and Scale
A Cloud Designed to Run Apps Exceptionally Well
Libero Cloud was designed from the ground up to deliver the best application performance and the most rapid scalability of any cloud. Premium Disk I/O and Network I/O support accelerate all applications running in the Libero Cloud. Libero Cloud SmartOS SmartMachines extend this performance by allowing applications to instantly and automatically burst into large CPU pools at no charge.
In fact, each SmartOS SmartMachine can burst up to 400% instantly to handle large spikes in usage or traffic. Only Joyent SmartOS SmartMachines can resize upwards entire application stacks including multiple layers without rebooting or requiring down time. Third-party benchmark studies have shown that Joyent SmartMachines deliver:
- CPU 5X Faster than Amazon EC2
- Disk I/O 14x Faster than Amazon EC2
- Memory I/O 3X Faster than Amazon EC2
Libero Cloud also delivers applications exceptionally well on SmartMachines running Linux operating systems. Libero Cloud’s KVM hardware virtualization allows Linux SmartMachines to boot up in 15 seconds or less. In fact, Linux stacks running on the Libero Cloud outperform Linux stacks running on Amazon’s EC2. (Click here to read our benchmark reports.)
