Pitching Box
For me, it was a bunch of numbers. You can convince a bunch of VCs with numbers. The churn was low. The revenue was up. Talking to the customers, the sentiment was that this could grow within their companies. There was a huge market with cloud-based file sharing with both consumers but also enterprises.
And, on pivoting to “enterprise”:
In 2007, the consumer market was still the target at Box.

People are much more interested in running PaaS in-house than not in-house. We see a lot of interest in PaaS but very little interest necessarily in running PaaS on cloud infrastructures. I think broadly, this is going to be much more of the era of private cloud infrastructure as a service, more so than PaaS. PaaS is still in its early days, much earlier days than IaaS.

VMware launches "desktop as a service" offering with recently acquired Desktone (451 Report)
Earlier this week VMware announced it’s Desktop-as-Service (DaaS) offering, building on-top of the recently acquired Desktone asset. I have a 451 report for clients up.
Here’s the 451 Take:
VMware is launching a desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offering at an appropriate time, both beating Amazon to the 1.0 punch and playing into key trends that seem to be giving virtual desktops a new breath of life. There’s been a steady increase in the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend, tightly coupled with the fragmentation of the PC market brought on by mobility: tablets, Apple and Android – not to mention the continued spread of the Web as a major ‘platform.
