What is Network as a Service?
NWaaS frees organisations from
once impossible challenges…
Affordable network without compromise
Cloud’s promise for delivering market-leading cost-efficiency with best-in-class performance is realised for Networks with NWaaS. Bringing together best-of-breed enterprise technologies with Palo Alto Networks firewall security, Microsoft Azure and VMWare’s SD-WAN by VeloCloud, NWaaS intelligently delivers the very best of all worlds at an SMB price point.
On-premise reliability with cloud efficiency
Gone are the days when services were solely provisioned within the confines of your organisation. As it’s likely you’re already benefiting from the utilisation of cloud-delivered services, NWaaS is a perfect complement to enhance the reliability of core business services which used to safely reside within the boundaries of your network but are now delivered to you over a reliable internet connection, enabling access from any location with connectivity (such as Telephony and Video Conferencing).
Cloud-enabled infrastructure
As your organisation increases its Cloud adoption, your existing hub and spoke Network architecture may no longer make much sense. A cloud-based solution allows your organisation to avoid dependency on on-site networks, adjust resources to suit demand, and rapidly deploy services as and when they are needed.
If cloud-enabling your Network is the next check-point on your cloud journey, you will appreciate the ease with which NWaaS can be deployed to both optimise the speed, and neatly smooth over your transition, to cloud-delivered networking services.
Update platforms as you go
Adopting new platforms can often force businesses into making bold and drastic changes beyond what’s comfortably manageable. These revolutionary leaps can increase business risk as staff are often forced to quickly adapt to a new platform. Additionally, most businesses incur an increase in financial outlay with long-term supplier or technology lock-ins.
NWaaS enables your business to continue on your Cloud adoption journey at your own pace. Supported by Azure, NWaaS offers tried and tested bolt-on pathways for further technology adoption with DR, backup, PaaS and security enhancements at your fingertips, simplifying management and allowing you to evolve at your own pace.

Why We Choose to Work With VMWare
Why We Choose to Work With Palo Alto Networks
When only the best will do, we chose to create FWaaS using Palo Alto’s next- generation Firewall.
Palo Alto Networks® next-generation firewalls detect known and unknown threats, including encrypted traffic, using intelligence generated across many thousands of customer deployments. That means they reduce risks and prevent a broad range of attacks.
Quickly create security rules that mirror business policy, are easy to maintain and adapt to your dynamic environment. Reduce response times with automated policy-based actions and automate workflows via integration with administrative tools such as ticketing services or any system with a RESTful API.
Improved application experience with NWaaS
One of the standout benefits of NaaS is the significantly improved application experience it offers. With NaaS, applications are delivered with high performance, reliability, and security, regardless of the user’s location or device.
This is made possible through advanced networking technologies like software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualisation (NFV), which create a flexible and scalable network infrastructure. NaaS providers offer a suite of features and tools designed to ensure optimal application performance.
By providing a high-performance and secure underlying infrastructure, NaaS empowers organisations to deliver a superior application experience to their users. This can lead to increased productivity, enhanced customer satisfaction, and a competitive edge in the market.
