To Cloud or not to Cloud is no longer the question. There are a variety of solutions in the industry across a wide spectrum; full private, hybrid, or public. Because not all Clouds are created equal nor the same, the real fun begins trying to determine which is best FIT for you. Join us for an educational and interactive session as IntelliNet, a Cleveland-headquartered Cloud and Managed Services company, provides insight into the selection process, the pros and cons of various approaches, and common pitfalls to avoid when doing business in the Cloud.

About Cloudy Mondays:
The IT world is migrating to the cloud with amazing speed. Development today is more about stitching cloud services together than traditional programming. Cloud-based development requires an entirely new way of thinking about software. Call it Thinking In the Clouds, (anything but cloudy thinking!).

Flashstarts and StartMart launched Cloudy Mondays to provide an ongoing series of educational services to Northeast Ohio so StartMart can be on the cutting edge of this transformation. There are numerous cloud based services: Amazon, Google, Microsoft, IBM, and others. Each provides unique value and different benefits. StartMart plans to cover them all.

StartMart picked Monday for several reasons:

1. Street parking in Downtown is totally FREE after 6:00
2. There are no competing sporting events on Monday
3. There is nothing else to do.
4. Cloudy Mondays is a cool name

In addition to introductory educational events for each major platform, StartMart will be offering training, consultation, vendor support, user group space/meetings, and hopefully buckets of free usage credits. For most events there will be small fee to cover food and beverage, at least until StartMart can obtain some sponsors.
