Space, The Final Frontier...again

Box.net, the leader in cloud content management, has launched (no pun intended) a new initiative to remove the limits of cloud services. Storing the content of 4 million users takes up a lot of space (again, not intended), and existing solutions are not robust enough to support our future growth.

Thanks to a new 500 Million round of funding from DST, Box.net has released our new space computing initiative to the public.
