HP provides box.net cloud storage services in business PCs

Cloud storage and collaboration platform Box.net with HP, HP Enterprise computer will install Box.net service.

In a recent statistic, Box.net has 7 million users, all over 100,000 companies. In October, Box.net CEO Allon Levi Aaron Levie said he would eventually work with HP to install its own services in HP's PCs sold to companies.

Today, HP and Box.net announced the deal.

In an enterprise with HP computers, a year of free box.net storage services is offered, or discounts are offered for Compaq branded business PCs. For example, if a user buys a Compaq 8200 elite computer from a smart buy project, he can get a box.net account with an unlimited free storage service for a year. If you purchase a Compaq 6200 or 6205 Pro system PC through the smart Buy program, you can get a free account, 10GB of storage, and users can choose to buy a computer at a discount.

This is the second time that Box.net has announced a collaboration with HP on hardware. Last summer, the two sides cooperated on touchpad for the first time. Recently, Box.net also announced cooperation with some cloud service providers, such as Yammer, Salesforce.com's Heroku.
