Box has published its financial report for 2022, stating the company's intention to move operations to public cloud infrastructure. According to the report, the company spent an additional $15.2m on public cloud infrastructure in 2022 and reduced spend on its data centers by $4.9 million.

Box currently hosts ‘Box Zones’ in colocation facilities located in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; Tokyo and Osaka, Japan; Montreal and Toronto, Canada; Paris and Marseilles, France; London and Cardiff, UK; Frankfurt, Germany; Singapore; Dublin, Ireland; and across the US. The move to the public cloud will likely see the company exiting these data centers.

It raises the bar for privacy and control in the cloud⁠ so you can work with organizations and customers around the world while storing your content in your preferred region. Collaboration happens seamlessly across Zones: You can add Zones at no additional cost, easily change assigned Zones, and automatically migrate relevant content without impacting end users. It's all part of the way we help you with cloud adoption.
