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).

NaaS offers the ability to outsource the company network and hardware/software procurement fully. When does a NaaS strategy make sense?
