NaaS is simply the delivery of virtualized network infrastructure and services following the standard cloud subscription business model popularized by SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. Fortunately, cloud-native SD-WAN platforms, like Cato Cloud , enable enterprises to leverage Network as a Service to its full potential.

Cloud Adoption and Network Visibility Gaps. A more significant network visibility challenge comes in the form of cloud adoption, inclusive of SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. And none of them understand application topology, especially when running in cloud-native environments. How the “Cloud Natives” Solve this Issue.

Comparing Both Ends of the Spectrum An appliance-based solution allows organizations to manage and direct their SD-WAN solution and utilize various Internet connection options, rather than being tied to a particular carrier. With no backbone to send traffic over to provide consistent connectivity, Internet connections are unpredictable.

MPLS came of age when users worked in offices, resources resided in the datacenter, and the Internet was an afterthought. It was hopelessly out of step with a world that needed to move fast and one obsessed with the Internet. Resources moved into the cloud and the pandemic sent everyone home.

They were not truly leveraging the power of the Cloud, so the cost of services remained high and agility stayed low.

It is, however, quite difficult to protect, especially considering a great part of it typically resides in the cloud. The increasing value of information, the growing adoption of cloud computing, and continued rise in cybercrime, are driving enterprises to the realization that they need to do a better job protecting their data.

In the case of mergers, we must deal with inconsistent or incompatible networks architectures, while factoring in the unreliable nature of global connectivity over a public internet. Many organizations neglect to consider bandwidth and capacity requirements of cloud applications. Scalability is also an issue with cloud deployments.

Private backbones enable high quality connections that don’t rely on the public Internet. There are no performance guarantees in the public internet which means connections often suffer from high latency, jitter and packet loss. Enterprises must therefore find an alternative way to optimize traffic to cloud datacenters.

While choice is good, there are three common problems with DIY SD-WAN: When a variety of Internet connections are used, there is no carrier-grade backbone service that is fully backed with a service level agreement (SLA) to protect against latency and unpredictability. Along with the SD-WAN, security is also DIY.
