#Samsung will take on #Google and #Amazon in the cloud With #Joyent, Samsung won't need to rely on Amazon and other storage companies.
Cloud computing! Doesn't the mere mention of it just get your blood pumping? Okay, it might be dull, but we all depend on those data centers for CPU-intensive services like Google Now and Siri, storage for photos, documents and video, and infinitely more. So, it's big news that Samsung has acquired Joyent, a US-based cloud platform, for an undisclosed sum. The company will be able to power its mobile apps, internet-of-things (IoT) business and storage, and possibly break into artificial intelligence (AI), an area dominated by Google, #IBM 's Watson and others.
The Korean company currently relies heavily on AWS, Amazon's cloud company, to power apps and storage for its mobile customers. Joyent will be able to take a lot of those chores on right away, and handle more in the future. "As we heard Samsung's vision -- which included using [our services] for a new generation of mobile- and IoT-based applications -- it was hard not to get excited," Joyent CTO Bryan Cantrill said in a blog post.
