Webinar | Take the Pain Out of Your Campus Network: Is NaaS the Answer?

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.

Eliminating capital expenditures for access network infrastructure and reducing operational burden for IT staff continues to be a priority for many, if not all, higher education institutions. Traditional approach to enterprise networks calls for a packaging and financial exercise to wrap legacy products under a Network as a Service (NaaS) offer and hide the complexity away. Is the answer really that simple?

Join IT leaders from University of the Arts and Stanford University, as well as our host, former Chief Infrastructure Officer for California State University system as they share how they transformed their IT infrastructure to tackle latest generation of digital initiatives in the middle of a balancing act of recruiting and talent retention across their IT teams.
