It would depend on your definition of "succeeded", but Docker (formally dotCloud) made a great transition after releasing docker and just raised a very nice round of funding.
"In 2013, recognizing the need for flexible, PaaS-like environments inside enterprises and across clouds, the company released much of its PaaS container technology as the open source Docker project. Docker is an open source engine for deploying any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere. By delivering on the promise “Build Once…Run Anywhere,” Docker has seen explosive growth, and its impact is being seen across devops, PaaS, and hybrid cloud environments.
The success of the Docker project led the company to change its name from "dotCloud, Inc." to "Docker, Inc." in October 2013 in order to reflect its focus on the new product. Docker, Inc. continues to run the dotCloud Platform, supporting thousands of containers running applications for a wide variety of businesses."[0]

- frewsxcv 12y agoYeah, Docker seems to be more popular than dotCloud ever was, but do we actually know how the pivot affected their finances?
