Jeff Ferry reports in Daily Cloud on January 8:
"This week’s announcement that cloud storage leader Box (NYSE:BOX) is deploying an OpenStack solution from startup Platform9 is a big win for both Platform9 and the OpenStack framework of open source cloud operating software. Box is a major player in the enterprise market, with revenue of $79 million in its October quarter and 54,000 paying business customers, including 55% of the Fortune 500. So it’s a major endorsement for OpenStack. And for small startup Platform9, which only launched its software platform a year ago, it’s an important victory."
