Network As a Service:
In a world of hyper-connectivity, network as a service promises to deliver a better day-to-day user experience.
- Network as a Service (NaaS) is a cloud service model in which customers rent networking services from a cloud vendor instead of setting up their own network infrastructure.
- It allows customers to operate their own networks without maintaining their own networking infrastructure.
- Like other cloud services, NaaS vendors run networking functions using software, essentially allowing companies to set up their own networks entirely without hardware. All they need is Internet connectivity.
- It is a flexible, scalable, and affordable option for organizations since it enables them to allocate network resources as needed.
- It can replace other networking systems that often require more work and provide less agility, such as virtual private networks (VPNs) and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS).
- In addition, by using NaaS, you can shift your networking system to your provider, who can also give you security services to keep your network environment safe.
- This means you don’t have to invest in on-premise firewalls and other security appliances.
