Cloud Storage Company Box Debuts Global Data Transfer Network, Accelerator, For Speedier Uploads

Cloud storage company Box has massive amount of data uploaded to its servers everyday. In fact, Box now has 11 million users, and 125,000 businesses using the service, representing 92 percent of the Fortune 500. With massive companies like Procter & Gamble using Box for cloud storage, Box needs to make sure that uploads and data connectivity is fast. Today, the company is debuting Box Accelerator, a patent pending global data transfer network that optimizes the performance of business collaboration. Basically, Box Accelerator advances the speed, security and scale of the storage service for business and enterprise users worldwide to create a faster and more streamlined work experience. As CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie tells me, the company has put up infrastructure in number of sites globally, and is also leveraging Amazon Web Services to allow customers to upload large amounts of data at a much faster rate. "We are using a mix of Amazon's EC2 and our own recently built on-premise infrastructure to allow users to upload large amounts of data dramatically faster," he explains.
