Solution

Hi,

Basic service of a cloud is sharing of Resources,Applications and Storage to a group of users (in perticular Computers) connected through a network.So,The cloud service means a pool of Servers and Storage widley spread across the world. The mission of network will be connecting the resources (servers and storage) into a resource pool and then connecting users to the correct resources.

So,network outage will be direct performance issue of total could service.If a network outage is there the user may not be able to access the serive it self.That might answer your first question.

\"would network outages also affect corporations?\" yes.when it comes to \"how?\" it will be dependent on the type of cloud it is using. There are Mainly four types of cloud services

1)Public cloud access networking

an e-commerce site will be example for the perticular networking.In this case it will directly effect the end user and the down of 2-3 hrs will be a loss for the corporation

2)Private cloud access networking

This type of network will be used by the corporations to share the application used for development or maintence among the employees.the network down in this case can lead to the productivity of the organization.Total team will be sitting ideal with out the applications

3)Intra-cloud networking for public cloud services

4)Private intra-cloud networking:

In this type of clouds network down will be a serious issue

The ultimate counter solution for these type of issues would be using VPN\'s and intra VPN\'s or private Internet Serice Providers or effective local area networks.
