Back in October, it announced part one of its B financing round, featuring a $10 million investment from a strategic investor and prior investors including Voyager Capital and Founder Collective, as well as the Blue Box executive team.
“This Series B is a vote of confidence in our team, our technology and our business model,” said Bob DeSantis, chief revenue officer at the company. “And it’s a Big deal because major corporations are eager to participate in the OpenStack powered PCaaS model we’ve introduced – both through their financial investment and by partnering with Blue Box to bring our solutions to their customers.”
The company,which recently signed a partnership agreement with ATG, said that it will invest in several key go-to-market areas including adding additional talent on its engineering, sales and marketing, and business development teams, scaling its sales and marketing programs, and, as mentioned, expanding its channel program.
“We are very excited that Blue Box Cloud has quickly been accepted as a leading PCaaS offering in the marketplace,” said Matthew Schiltz, CEO of Blue Box. “The combination of our unique IP and true operating experience makes it possible for Blue Box to deliver consistent, reliable, efficient and agile private cloud infrastructure as a service directly and through channel partners, and it’s that model we’re moving to implement in 2015 with our partners.”
