Description

Network-as-a-Service is Transforming Network Operators into API-focused Integrators



In this report, Frost & Sullivan examines the Network-as-a-service (NaaS) business model. NaaS is a modern business model for service providers to quote, sell, and manage network services to enterprises and their wholesale providers. The model enables network operators to deliver a cloud-like consumption model with a frictionless customer experience. Additionally, operators are working together to seamlessly integrate each other’s services; the result is manifested in the NaaS framework.

The report defines NaaS as a series of services integrating multiple platforms to constitute an enterprise-friendly go-to-market strategy. The NaaS concept can additionally help drive more services and innovation in the space. Different ecosystem players define and view their part of the ecosystem NaaS differently—these views are discussed in the report.

Frost & Sullivan thanks the following providers and the MEF NaaS event itself for their invaluable help in researching this area—AT&T, British Telecom, Colt, Comcast Business, DCConnect, Digital Reality, Deutsch Telecom, Epsilon, Equinix, Netcracker, Orange, PCCW-Global Connect, RAD, Telefonica, Verizon, Lumen, Sparkle, and Transunion.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
