There are many definitions of Network as a Service (NaaS) floating around. Is really something new or just a new umbrella term for existing services? Mirko Voltolini, VP Innovation from Colt, explains:
- NaaS is a groundbreaking approach that allows the orchestration of services across multiple domains and providers, enabling the creation of diverse business outcomes. It combines connectivity, cloud solutions, security, and IoT from various providers to create specific solutions for industries like manufacturing.
- APIs play a crucial role in NaaS, enabling the composition of different service components and avoiding manual stitching. Colt started building its NaaS proposition, Colt on Demand, in 2015, and has been pushing the industry to adopt the MEF LSO APIs as a common way to connect with each other.
- The response from customers and partners has been positive, as NaaS solves the complex problem of telecom industry fragmentation. The ecosystem is growing, with more providers adopting automation and the MEF LSO APIs, and Colt believes the momentum will continue to build.
Join Mirko and Jim Carroll on a walk around MEF's Global NaaS event in Texas as they discuss the future of NaaS, the role of APIs, and how Colt is participating in this innovative field. #MEFGNE
