NaaS

NaaS stands for Network as a Service, a cloud-based service model that provides network services to organizations on-demand, similar to other "as a Service" models such as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Modern NaaS solutions fully disaggregate control and data planes, hosting control functions in the cloud.

Modern NaaS solutions fully disaggregate control and data planes, hosting control functions in the cloud. As a result, they benefit from practically unlimited (and inexpensive) cloud computing capacity to keep costs low, even as they maintain privacy and guaranteed performance.
