Abstract

This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of the emerging enterprise network as a service (NaaS) market, including the evolution of this market and trends driving the market from both the enterprise and network vendor perspectives, and outlines the benefits enterprises and vendors gain from using NaaS models.

"Enterprise NaaS is an exciting new model for enterprises to consume network infrastructure via flexible options," says Brandon Butler, senior research analyst, Enterprise Networks at IDC. "Enterprise NaaS models enable myriad significant benefits, from giving enterprises faster access to new technology and features to enabling enterprises to free up their IT staff to focus on business-enabling tasks. IDC believes enterprise NaaS will become an important way for enterprises to procure and manage their enterprise networks in the years to come."
