5. DX and Your Network
• Networks Must Evolve
• Legacy, Static, Non-Differentiated Edge is Long Gone
“To unleash the promise of digital
transformation, businesses need to
embrace automation and
software-defined networking as
well as improve security.”
* Network World, January 2020

6. What is Network as a Service (NaaS)
• Subscription model for delivering network service - virtually.
• Centralized management, visibility, and control
o Without the cost and complexity of controller appliances
or overlay management software.
• Configuring and operating routers and protocols, WAN
optimizers and other components, such as firewalls or SD-
WAN endpoints, can be very complicated.
o With NaaS, those responsibilities are handled by a third-
party provider.
• IT staff manage the organization's network through a portal
rather than through a patchwork of network management
tools and stacks of hardware.

7. Why NaaS?
• Network complexity
• Streaming applications, cloud-based services
• Device and application visibility
• Real-time, web-based diagnostics
• Monitoring and reporting.
• SECURITY - the more complex your infrastructure,
the more likely it is to be vulnerable to attack.
Networks need to support the
programs and applications that
keep organizations running.

8. Benefits:
• Minimizes capital investment, staff time and commitment.
• Predictable monthly pricing delivers “enterprise-grade.”
• Uptime concerns are addressed because SD-WAN technologies
make it simple to use multiple network links to provide
connectivity back to the NaaS backbone, and potentially
directly to other NaaS sites across the internet.
• SD-WAN technology also helps resolve concerns over traffic
engineering for demanding applications like UCaaS and CCaaS.
• Network is future-proofed and always up-to-date with over-
the-web firmware updates and new features.
• Access to real-time analytics to inform strategic business
decisions and accelerate revenue.
