Networking-as-a-Service (NaaS) refers to the delivery of network hardware, software, and services by a third party on a subscription basis. This model allows businesses to pay only for what they use, preserving capital and avoiding costly infrastructure investments and rigid contracts. It also offers the flexibility to scale the network as business needs evolve.

NaaS enables organizations to transition from reactive network management to a proactive strategy by leveraging the expertise of third-party providers. This shift allows businesses to focus on innovation and driving outcomes rather than merely maintaining the network, as they can rely on managed services to ensure efficient network operation.

The advantages of NaaS include cost savings through subscription payments, the ability to scale network resources based on changing needs, and access to skilled networking experts through managed services. This model helps businesses meet increased employee demands and navigate the complexities of digital transformation without the burden of extensive in-house resources.
