Description

Introduction

Network as a Service (NaaS) provides dynamic, on-demand networking, but ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and uptime requires effective monitoring and analytics. This training focuses on equipping participants with the skills to track network health, analyze performance metrics, and implement optimization strategies in NaaS deployments.

Monitoring and analytics are essential for detecting anomalies, preventing downtime, ensuring SLA compliance, and maintaining end-to-end visibility across cloud, hybrid, and edge environments. Participants will learn about tools, frameworks, and best practices for collecting, analyzing, and acting on network data, as well as techniques to optimize bandwidth, reduce latency, and improve overall network efficiency.

Prerequisites

• Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, routing, switching, LAN/WAN)

• Familiarity with NaaS, SDN, and network virtualization

• Understanding of cloud computing (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)

• Basic knowledge of monitoring tools and network performance metrics

• Exposure to scripting or automation for analytics is beneficial
