Why do we need NMaaS?

Today’s network services are complex:

• Heterogeneous network infrastructures
• Increasing numbers of value-added services and features
• Services are becoming mission critical

The cost and complexity of developing and integrating in-house network management may to too high for many NRENs and Institutions

Out-of-the-box solutions might not be suitable and might be costly

NMaaS aims to support these users to provide an effective, efficient network and service management platform

What NMaaS offers?

NMaaS simplifies intra-domain network management by providing the infrastructure and tools via a cloud-based, network management system.

It enables management and monitoring of client networks through on-demand deployment of network management tools in the cloud infrastructure.

Using a multi-tenant approach, each NREN or Institution has private access to their network and services from a highly available cloud based platform.
