Naas in Cloud Computing

How does Naas work?

The user needs to log in to the web portal provided by the cloud to use the services. The user can then customize the routing protocols according to requirements from the online API. The users will be charged for the capacity and APIs they use. The capacity or protocols can be customized and changed anytime. The mobile Naas offers efficient and flexible control over mobile devices. It uses virtualization to simplify the architecture to create efficient processes.

Advantages of Naas

The Naas - Network as a service provides us with the advantage like

• Flexibility - offers great flexibility and customization to users.
• Security - It uses firewalls as security services to provide better security to users.
• No maintenance - The user can use the services with the internet, and the cloud provider handles upgrades, networks and manages software.
• Network Accessibility - Users can access the services anywhere and on any device.
• Isolation of customer traffic - The customer traffic on the networks is isolated logically for a better user experience.
• Affordable - The services are affordable for everyone, and it provides subscriptions and licenses according to requirements and costs.

Disadvantages

The Naas provides us with many advantages, but at the same time, it also has disadvantages. Let's see what those disadvantages are.

• Compatibility - The network's infrastructure might not be compatible with the legacy systems.
• Data centers - Most organizations still store the data on data centers, which might be complex to switch to the cloud.
