Joyent has announced that it has agreed to acquire Reasonably Smart, a fledgling open cloud startup based on JavaScript and Git, for an undisclosed amount, reports GigaOm. "While on the surface it might look like simple industry consolidation, Reasonably Smart’s technology will in fact help Joyent compete with emerging service-centric clouds while retaining an open model that makes developers comfortable," says Alistair Croll. Joyent’s CEO says that his company gets an open platform with which to attract developers while preparing the company for the looming threat of Google and Microsoft. He’s pledging to keep his offering completely open source. Check out more at GigaOm.
