TextDrive sold to Joyent

TextDrive, the hosting company that originally started out as an off-shot from the developers of the TextPattern blogware, has been sold to Joynet.

“Joyent’s innovative, network-based collaboration software combined with TextDrive’s proven expertise in building high performance hosted solutions, creates a company delivering compelling network-based applications over a 100% reliable and scalable infrastructure,” said David Young, CEO of Joyent.

“Joyent’s combined software and hosting capabilities now deliver a complete network-based application and infrastructure platform to our ISP, VAR, developer, and end-user customers.”

“We are thrilled with this strategic combination, a perfect fit that forges a company with the talent to deliver our customers elegant and powerful network-based applications,” said Dean Allen, former CEO of TextDrive and now President and Director of Joyent Europe. “We look forward to dazzling Joyent customers with TextDrive’s unparalleled hosting services.”
