TAKE A WALK IN THE CLOUD WITH WEBIT, INTEL ON SEPTEMBER 23 WEBIT Services is hosting an evening of fun, food and entertainment at Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry on Friday, September 23rd from 4-9 p.m. Much more than a social event, Take a Walk in the Cloud provides a unique opportunity to see live demonstrations of WEBIT’s new iCloudWork℠ solution powered by the Intel AppUp℠ platform, and ask questions of the experts from WEBIT and Intel in a casual environment. WEBIT, a St. Charles-based company owned by Eric Rieger, has achieved Intel Technology Partner Gold 2011 status. Rieger and his staff have implemented many of the iCloudWork℠ solutions at Loaves & Fishes, the event locale. "Hybrid Cloud Computing Solution" combines the best features of both local and cloud-based networks: Eliminates server hardware costs Flexible "Pay as you grow" model. Never pay for extra licenses again. Turn on and off monthly as needed New on premise server appliance every 3 years. Never have outdated technology again! Over 100 applications coming in the Intel AppUp Catalog. With the flip of a virtual switch, turn on new applications like QuickBooks. Flexible and scalable. Add new “virtual” servers and solutions added on-the-fly as needed Local hardware keeps client data secure. Local network speeds are faster than Internet based connections. Service is not reliant on Internet connection for functionality As a special bonus, all attendees who sign up for a Cloud Service Review by 10/31/2011 will be eligible to receive 2 FREE MONTHS of service on the iCloudWork℠ platform.
