Abstract: 

Since its public launch in the fall of 2011, DuraCloud has been adopted by various organizations in order to meet a wide range of preservation and access use cases and digital content storage needs. When making the decision of whether or not to subscribe to DuraCloud and move content into the cloud, these organizations had to weigh the advantages, disadvantages, and risks of using the cloud versus building and supporting a local solution. The “DuraCloud for Dummies” 24x7 presentation will walk through the highlights of both the decision making process of choosing to move to the cloud as well as how to use the DuraCloud service (all to the tune of Should I Stay or Should I Go by the Clash).
