Network-as-a-Service refers to the delivery of network hardware, software, and services by a third party on a subscription basis. This model allows businesses to pay for only what they use, preserving capital and avoiding costly infrastructure investments and rigid contracts.

NaaS enables businesses to shift from reactive network management to a more proactive approach. By leveraging third-party management services, companies can access the expertise of networking professionals, ensuring efficient network operation while focusing on delivering new capabilities and value to the business.

NaaS provides flexibility to scale networks according to changing needs, which is crucial in a landscape marked by hybrid workplaces and increasing device numbers. It also helps organizations manage limited budgets and skill gaps, allowing them to meet growing employee demands for reliability, security, and speed.
