Strategy report | PPTX and PDF (6 slides) | NaaS Platforms and Infrastructure
"The USD8.7 billion multi-cloud NaaS market opportunity remains up for grabs for those players that build a unified, programmable and footprint-agnostic multi-cloud networking platform."
Multi-cloud network-as-a-service (NaaS) platforms do not currently address all enterprise needs. Operators, software-defined cloud interconnect (SDCI) providers/alternative B2B network providers and multi-cloud networking (MCN) software vendors need to collaborate, (while following distinct strategies) to build more-complete platforms if they want to capture a bigger share of the USD8.7 billion enterprise MCN market.
Information included in this report
- an overview of an ideal multi-cloud NaaS platform that can address the needs of enterprises and buyer personas such as NetOps, CloudOps and DevOps
- an analysis of traditional operators’ current multi-cloud NaaS platform capabilities, identifying gaps in their capabilities and the areas in which they should focus their efforts
- an analysis of software-defined cloud interconnect providers' (SDCIs') and alternative B2B network providers’ current multi-cloud NaaS platform capabilities, identifying gaps in their capabilities and the areas in which they should focus their efforts
- an overview of MCN software overlay providers’ multi-cloud NaaS capabilities and the associated opportunities
