Network as a service

Network-as-a-Service(NaaS) is a term used to describe the provision of computer networking technology to an organisation as an integrated service. It is related to terms like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Software-Defined Networking (SDN).

Historic definitions focused on fundamental concepts of NaaS, including describing services for network transport connectivity. NaaS also involves the optimization of resource allocations by considering network and computing resources as a unified whole.
