As all resources in a cloud environment are accessed through the network, a robust, available network is an essential element. The Internet is the network used by public and community clouds, as well as many private clouds. This network has proven to be widely available with broad capabilities. The Internet has become ubiquitous in society, allowing for the expansion of cloud-based services.

An IP-based network is only part of what is needed for cloud computing. Low latency, high bandwidth, and relatively error-free transmissions make cloud computing possible. The use of public networks also creates some security concerns. If access to cloud resources is via a public network, like the Internet, the traffic can be intercepted. If transmitted in the clear, the data can be read. The use of encryption and secure transport keeps the data in motion secure and cloud computing safer.
