Despite the fact that powerful storms through the Mid-Atlantic region last week brought down the servers which run the mammoth streaming operation of online biggie Netflix, the company has said that it remains undeterred by the recent outage of its service, and that it still is fully convinced about the power of cloud computing.

Netflix was one of the several online powerhouses which use Amazon's servers for powering their operations, and which witnessed an outage last weekend, after the collapse of Amazon's Web Services division because of the rocking thunderstorms.

The Amazon data center outage - on June 29 - affected technologies such as Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2); and caused an interruption in the services of some high-profile Websites like Netflix, Instagram and Pinterest. In addition, the outage also had an effect on some other companies which rely on the Amazon cloud compute for running whole or part of their businesses.

Acknowledging the fact that the outage was a result of issues at Amazon's end, and noting that the situation warranted the requirement of "additional tools," Netflix said that it does not plan to undertake any operations-linked restructuring after the unanticipated service failure over the weekend.

Asserting it faith in the power or cloud computing, Netflix said that the outage was a "reminder" that the increasing transition from local storage to the cloud calls for hard-copy back-ups of everything, "because you never know what might take down the cloud."
