Network-as-aService (NaaS) makes your network more agile, enabling you to adapt to changing circumstances and demands on the fly.
Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) enables you to deploy best-in-class Verizon products and services in a more modular, scalable package. By mixing virtual and on-site assets you can make your network – and therefore your whole enterprise – more adaptive. The idea is that your virtual services, resources or applications can sit in the Cloud, and only you pay for what you need, when you need it.
Verizon offers different networking resources, services, and applications that you can purchase for a number of users, for a contracted period of time. Typical configurations include services such as Managed SD-WAN, Business Communications (VoIP) and security services.
One of the technologies that provides a building block for NaaS is virtualisation. Over the past decade, virtualisation technologies have been increasingly adopted by different organisations. It allows for network services to be delivered logically and independently from the physical network. Virtualisation can simulate hardware platforms such as servers, storage devices, routing, and switching devices, and security appliances.
Network virtualisation also allows enterprises to take advantage of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) services and Network Functions Virtualisations (NFV) services which can help accelerate your enterprise on its digital journey.
