As a government agency's modernization journey evolves, network-as-a-service (NaaS) can enhance their ability to adopt new technologies. It’s essentially a platform that provides secure network resources and a cloud consumption model for an agency over time. It reduces the cost of connectivity and infrastructure and provides scalability and flexibility—including security, automation and visibility across the network platform, according to Verizon Director of Domain Specialists Ray Bauer.

“[NaaS] is a business model and enables digital evolution at scale,” he says. “It connects users to their application and the services they want—from IoT devices to network edge compute services. And it provides a scalable model for provisioning and budgeting for agencies, making it easy for them to transform,” he adds.
