Case Study: Box achieves portable cloud agility with Kubernetes

An Early Adopter Envisions a New Cloud Platform

Box, a technology company based in Redwood City, California, needed a more flexible infrastructure as it outgrew a decade of hardware and software that could no longer support its global expansion. The company faced challenges running workloads on a single cloud platform, ensuring stability and scalability, and serving customers across multiple regions and cloud providers.

Kubernetes provided Box with a portable platform for running workloads on bare metal and across public cloud environments, supporting its move toward microservices and greater developer agility. With Kubernetes, Box was able to implement its workloads inside existing legacy infrastructure and run successfully on bare metal, helping the company deliver early and often, though the case study does not provide specific quantitative results.
