Network as a Service (NaaS) is a cloud service model that provides networking infrastructure and services to customers on demand. It allows customers to operate their own networks without maintaining their own networking hardware. With NaaS, customers can provision and scale bandwidth as needed through a web portal API instead of purchasing physical equipment. While NaaS provides benefits like flexibility, scalability, and cost savings, challenges include potential compatibility issues with legacy systems and vendor lock-in. Major NaaS providers include Aryaka, Cloudflare, Cisco, Akamai, Megaport, and Palo Alto.

Let’s start with what does Network as a Service mean.

What is NaaS

◉ 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.

◉ But, what is cloud service?

Cloud services
A wide range of services delivered on demand to
companies and customers over the internet.

○ Infrastructure as a Service
○ Platform as a Service
○ Software as a Service

◉ Infrastructure as a service, or IaaS

◉ It is on-demand access to computing infrastructure


that are hosted by the cloud vendor such as:-
○ Server
○ Storage
○ Networking

◉ Platform as a service, or PaaS

◉ It is on-demand access to a complete, ready-to-use,


cloud-hosted platform for developing, running,
maintaining and managing applications.

◉ The idea of Network as a Service is that the enterprise

service from the networking vendor instead of making
a capital expenditure to buy that networking
equipment.

◉ NaaS allows customers to operate their own networks


without maintaining networking infrastructure.

◉ It can replace virtual private networks (VPNs),


multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connections, or
other legacy network configurations.

Services inside NaaS

The network as a service provides networking infrastructure to the


customers, some of them are listed below.

◉ Wide Area Networking Connectivity

4 Challenges
Let’s start with what does Network as a Service mean.

21
Even if NaaS services
solve many problems they
also have some limitations
that are not solved yet.

22
Challenges

Compatibility
The NaaS vendor's infrastructure may not be compatible with legacy
systems that are still in place — older hardware, on-premise-based
applications, etc.

Legacy data centers


In many enterprises, important applications and processes still run in
on-premise data centers, not the cloud. This makes migration to a
NaaS model slightly more challenging.
23
Challenges

Vendor lock-in
Moving to a cloud service always introduces the risk that an
enterprise may become too reliant on that particular service provider.
If the service provider's infrastructure fails or if they raise their prices,
vendor lock-in can have major repercussions.
