Another advantage Packet bring to the table, according to Tarazi, is that they support a range of open source software options, letting customers build whatever applications they want on top of that custom hardware. Customised cloud start-up Packet has raised $25m in a series B funding round led by Third Point Ventures, and featuring Battery Ventures, JA Mitsui Leasing, Samsung Next, SoftBank and Dell Technologies. The company is building an online platform for the storage of data that can be accessed from any device or device. CTO Ihab Tarazi said the firm offered the most diverse hardware options and a range of software options to give customers any configuration they wanted. Rivals tended to use off-the-shelf solutions, he added. Packet has 18 locations worldwide, but plans to add 50 more.
