Not Larry Ellison’s concept of a cloud in a very big, high-end box.
"For every one dollar spent in Sharepoint licenses, there's another $6 to $9 required to support that," Box.net CEO Aaron Levie told a roomful of reporters and investors at the press conference. "We've compressed that whole stack and delivered it as a single (offering) to our customers.
The new release is squarely targeted at IT users of Microsoft Sharepoint. Box has always sold to the enterprise, but today's announcement of a totally redesigned interface, back-end security and admin for IT users, and integrations with cloud vendors Netsuite and VMware, drove its mission home.“
“Box is free to end users, but it costs $15 per user, per month for mid-sized businesses and $35 per user (scalable discounts available) for large enterprises and heavily regulated industries which require advanced security and admin features. “
