What is Network as a Service?
The term NaaS describes a business model, not a specific technology. It can mean moving some network management functions to the cloud, or it can mean a fully cloud-based virtual network. It can provide a VPN, an SD-WAN, or any other Internet-based architecture. Important parts of the network, including entire subnets, may reside on premises.
Features that are commonly available include:
- Network management
- The connection of local networks into a WAN
- Dynamic or static routing
- Network security
- Monitoring
- DoS protection
- VPN tunneling
- Bandwidth on demand (BoD)
- Network function virtualization (NFV)
The Evolving Landscape of Network-as-a-Service
The network-as-a-service (NaaS) market is growing fast and diversifying in the range of services customers demand from it. Where NaaS providers once heavily emphasized SD-WAN as their go-to service, now services like virtual private networking (VPN), bandwidth on demand (BoD), software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), content monitoring and filtering, custom routing, and security are all being consumed increasingly.
With enterprises accustomed to consuming tech services on-demand and via API from hyperscale clouds, NaaS is proving a good fit for enterprises to consume telecom services. But what makes NaaS attractive also makes it complex to deliver and manage. It emphasizes virtualized services running over virtualized network functions; assembling and delivering complex services on-demand; and endless flexibility to deliver services and capacity at the right time as cost-efficiently as possible.
Intraway’s Symphonica addresses this combination of sophisticated needs in a single, no-code, zero-touch-capable orchestration, provisioning, and activation platform that takes NaaS from a complicated concept to an engine for bring NaaS services to life for customers on-demand.
