Why NaaS Is Transforming Networking (& Why Leaders Should Care)
As enterprises transition to hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure architectures, the ability to consume networking as a service (NaaS) will be critical to maintaining agility, reducing costs, and enabling seamless connectivity. NaaS removes the burdens of traditional networking, offering a scalable, flexible, and automated solution that aligns perfectly with digital transformation goals. Network leaders who embrace NaaS will be better equipped to meet the demands of AI, edge computing, and 5G — while simplifying network management through automation and orchestration platforms like Itential.
Keys to Operationalizing NaaS & Multi-Cloud Networking
Operationalizing NaaS and multi-cloud networking requires seamless automation, centralized visibility, and integration across hybrid environments. The first key is leveraging orchestration platforms like Itential to build workflows across multiple clouds, systems, and network domains by integrating through APIs. Consistent policy enforcement is also critical, ensuring that security, compliance, and performance standards are maintained across on-prem, public, and edge environments. Centralized visibility and analytics ensure real-time monitoring of network health and costs, while dynamic cost control strategies — like optimizing cloud egress and NaaS paths — help manage expenses efficiently.
Ultimately, successfully operationalizing NaaS requires building a flexible framework that simplifies and scales network management to meet evolving business needs.
