Although not a hosted server/application cloud-based service model, we feel Network as a Service (NaaS) needs a quick introduction at this point. The NaaS model allows your business to outsource the day-to-day burden of running your wide area network (WAN) connectivity. You can even outsource your LAN infrastructure if required. The network provider becomes responsible for your overall network connectivity when using NaaS; theretofore, you can enjoy time and cost savings due to overall simplification and performance gains.

NaaS providers, such as Amber Networks, are also capable of providing hosted cloud services over high speed connections directly from their core network (“on net”). This means that the traffic for your hosted cloud services does not have to traverse the public internet, but rather travels directly from your site to your NaaS provider’s network, and then directly to your hosted cloud service.
