The smart way to manage your network: Network as a Service (NaaS)

Speed and security in IT are cornerstones of business success. However, traditional self-managed network solutions often bring more problems than solutions: High investment costs for hardware, necessary hardware upgrades, complex software management, and security risks tie up resources, strain the budget, and distract your IT team from core business.

This is where Network as a Service (NaaS) from CMS IT-Consulting comes in. With NaaS, you don't need to buy expensive infrastructure - we provide everything you need and take the burden off you - through a flexible, scalable, and managed network solution that always adapts to your business requirements.

Networks without Borders: Your Infrastructure - Made Simple

Network as a Service is a service model where you can access comprehensive network infrastructure without having to manage your own hardware or software on-site.

CMS provides and manages the necessary hardware for you. Our OPEX-based model covers all aspects of your network security and performance requirements to ensure optimal performance: from essential hardware like switches, routers, firewalls and WLAN access points to advanced software solutions such as virtual firewalls and VPN clients – including our expertise in implementation and management.

With CMS, you get a sparring partner who takes responsibility for specific network areas and services according to your individual requirements, ensuring that technical and strategic needs are optimally met.
