Panic spreads among IT departments and executives as more and more of their staff gets infected with a new disease.

People are found sitting in a meeting and starting to mumble strange words like scalability, capex, opex, Amazon, EC2, S3, EBS, SimpleDB, AppEngine, Salesforce, or Azure.

Beware, those men and woman are infested with a newly discovered illness: the Mad Cloud Disease (MCD)

The MCD is known to cause lacks of sleep, irritations with existing in-house hardware, or dreams about total scalability.

Few dare to face the fast spreading MCD. Among those is Peritor, a small team located in Berlin, Germany. Those brave individuals pledged to fight this new threat to corporate peace and tranquility.

Their aim is to restore control and give executives and developers the necessary knowledge and tools to avert MDC.
