Driving to Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)
Network-as-a-Service is a cloud model which enables customers to easily operate and maintain the outcomes they expect to get from the network, without owning, building and maintaining their own infrastructure. As IT teams strive to provide consistent, secure access to their growing remote and mobile workforce with less complexity, they want the benefits of NaaS models. They need a simple and reliable approach to protect and connect people across the hybrid workplace.
Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud
Cisco’s Plus Hybrid Cloud solution as-a-service includes Cisco’s entire data centre compute, networking and storage portfolio in addition to third-party storage and software, bridging on-premise, edge and public cloud.
