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 expensive infrastructure and rigid contracts. It offers flexibility to scale the network as needs change.

NaaS helps organizations shift from reactive network management to a more proactive approach by providing access to third-party management services. This allows businesses to leverage the expertise and skills of networking professionals, ensuring the network runs efficiently while they focus on delivering new capabilities and value to the business.

The benefits of NaaS include cost savings through subscription payments, flexibility to scale according to business needs, and access to expert management services. This is particularly valuable in today's environment, where increased employee demands and the rapid growth of devices put pressure on networks, making it essential to deliver reliability, security, and compliance.
