The cloud has become a well of acronyms, each promising to fuel digital transformation and bring flexibility to once-closed systems. While most cloud adopters have become intimately familiar with acronyms such as #SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platforms as a Service), and so on, a new acronym is emerging that might just change how enterprises achieve their cloud goals. That acronym, #NaaP, lends itself to the concept of a Network-as-a-Platform model, a concept that drives the ability to transform existing infrastructure investments into a cloud-like model. In other words, NaaP strives to bring legacy systems into the world of the cloud services, all without having to re-engineer enterprise infrastructure. Part of that transformation comes from the idea of going beyond #NFV (Network Function Virtualization) solutions, and enhance hardware abstraction of network functionality by providing tools that ease integrating critical elements, such as provisioning, policy enforcement, configuration, troubleshooting, and licensing.
