ElasticBox, the company that enables developers and enterprises to create, deploy and manage applications has raised $9 million dollar Series A funding round.

The Series A investment comes from Nexus Venture Partners and Intel Capital, who also participated in the company’s seed funding round with a16z seed and Sierra Ventures.

ElasticBox has introduced a modular way to develop applications in the cloud through a new approach, using Boxes. Boxes are encapsulated, fully configured components of your application architecture that can be combined to create and run applications in the cloud.

Founded in 2011, ElasticBox streamlines the development, deployment, and management of applications for any cloud. ElasticBox is pioneering a simplified, modular, service-based application development structure, where fully configured components of application architecture are encapsulated as “Boxes” and made available as a service. Boxes are reusable, and fully mobile across cloud environments.
