Preparing Your Network for the Future

In an era where digital transformation is a critical business strategy, the demand for advanced and flexible network solutions is paramount. Agility in network infrastructure is essential for staying competitive in a fast-evolving technological landscape. The Lumen Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) Port provides organizations with an immediate pathway to fast, flexible and secure on-demand connectivity. This is especially relevant for midsize to enterprise businesses looking to harness AI applications that demand high-bandwidth, low-latency networks.

A Lumen NaaS port offers versatility and efficiency, positioning businesses to meet current networking demands and adapt to future changes seamlessly. This readiness of the Lumen NaaS port as a crucial component of modern business infrastructure underscores its role not just as a utility but as a strategic asset in the digital age.

“Businesses can use the Lumen NaaS Port to access Lumen Network-as-a-Service from their own locations or from data center partners for maximum flexibility, security and cost savings.” – Ghassan Abdo, Research VP, WW Telecom, Virtualization, and CDN, IDCWhat is the Lumen NaaS Port?

The Lumen NaaS Port represents a revolutionary approach to network connectivity, designed to meet our customers wherever they are with the ability to install and activate directly at the customer’s premises, at on-net data center locations, or through partnered data center fabric. This differentiator empowers businesses with unique flexibility to swiftly spin up both public and private internet connections on demand, within minutes.

“With the Lumen NaaS Port, businesses gain access to on-demand network services, including internet and ethernet, allowing them to instantly access public and private connections, while also dynamically adjusting bandwidth. By having the flexibility to connect to Lumen Network-as-a-Service on premise or through data center partners, businesses are able to have backup network access in case of outages, meet seasonal demand spikes, layer-on security, and cut cost by only paying by the hour for what they use and when they use it. The port means fast, flexible, and secure-on demand connectivity that businesses need,” said Ghassan Abdo from IDC.

By integrating this port into your infrastructure, you will gain immediate access to scalable, efficient and secure network services, tailored to meet the dynamic needs of modern businesses. This solution not only simplifies network management but also enhances operational agility, allowing organizations to adapt quickly to changing requirements and opportunities in the digital landscape.

    The Lumen NaaS Port enables quick activation of multiple connections on-site, offering services like Internet On-Demand, Ethernet On-Demand and IP VPN On-Demand with unique flexibility, eliminating the traditional telecom logistics delay and allowing service activation in minutes.
  2. Preparedness for Unexpected Needs:
    The business landscape is fraught with unpredictability. With an activated Lumen NaaS port, businesses are well-equipped to tackle network disruptions or sudden demand spikes efficiently. This readiness helps ensure business continuity and swift recovery from potential data breaches without affecting regular network traffic.
  3. Network Provider Parity and Redundancy:
    The availability of the Lumen NaaS port introduces an additional layer of network redundancy, which is crucial for minimizing financial losses due to downtime. This redundancy not only bolsters business resilience but also helps maintain uninterrupted services, offering a competitive edge.
  4. Cost-Effective Scalability:
    Lumen NaaS services employ a pay-as-you-go model, allowing businesses to adjust bandwidth based on current needs. This model is particularly beneficial for businesses with fluctuating connectivity demands.
