OUTDATED NETWORK? 5 PAIN POINTS AND HOW NAAS CAN SOLVE THEM

The ever-evolving digital landscape demands a network that can keep pace. Complex network infrastructures, once cutting-edge, can quickly become outdated, hindering performance, security and overall business agility. 

Upgrading traditional networks can be a daunting task, requiring significant investment and ongoing maintenance. However, Network as a Service (NaaS) offers a powerful solution, providing businesses with a streamlined approach to address these challenges and breathe new life into their outdated networks.

This blog explores five common pain points associated with outdated networks and demonstrates how NaaS effectively resolves them. We'll examine how NaaS can transform your network, paving the way for a secure, scalable and efficient environment that empowers your business to thrive in the digital age.

PROBLEM 1: PERFORMANCE BOTTLENECKS AND LIMITED SCALABILITY

Symptoms: Slow application response times, network congestion during peak hours, difficulty supporting new devices or applications.

NaaS Solution: NaaS utilises cloud-based infrastructure with readily scalable resources. This allows your network to adapt to changing business needs, seamlessly accommodating increased traffic or new technologies.

PROBLEM 2: SECURITY VULNERABILITIES AND OUTDATED EQUIPMENT

Symptoms: Increased susceptibility to cyberattacks, difficulty keeping up with the latest security patches, malfunctioning or unreliable hardware.

NaaS Solution: NaaS providers prioritise security, employing advanced firewalls, intrusion detection systems and continuous monitoring to ensure your network remains protected. Additionally, they maintain the latest security patches and updates on your network infrastructure.

PROBLEM 3: HIGH MAINTENANCE COSTS AND IT RESOURCE STRAIN

Symptoms: In-house IT teams overwhelmed by network maintenance tasks, recurring hardware and software expenses and difficulty keeping IT staff up-to-date on the latest trends.

NaaS Solution: NaaS frees up your IT team to focus on strategic initiatives. The provider handles all network maintenance, including patching, updates and troubleshooting and significantly reduces ongoing costs.

PROBLEM 4: LACK OF VISIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT CONTROL

Symptoms: Difficulty identifying network issues, limited control over network performance and security, lack of real-time data on network health.

NaaS Solution: NaaS providers offer robust monitoring and reporting tools which provide real-time insights into network performance, security threats and overall network health. This allows for proactive management and quick identification of potential issues.

PROBLEM 5: DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Symptoms: Lack of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, potential for significant downtime due to hardware failure or cyberattacks, vulnerability to data loss.

NaaS Solution: Many NaaS providers offer disaster recovery solutions that ensure business continuity in the event of an outage. These solutions involve data backups, redundancy measures and swift recovery plans to minimise downtime and data loss.
