Description

Several European NRENs have started offering Campus Network Management as a Service (CNaaS) to their connected institutions, either because the end-institutions or the governments have requested them to do it. Defining the new model, automating the infrastructure and sharing the management are some of the new challenges to solve.

The GN4-3 project is organising an Infoshare on CNaaS, where we will learn about the experiences and lessons learnt of three NRENs that are already offering the service: FUNET, SUNET and UNINETT.

This Infoshare was held on October 7th, 2020 at 13:00 CET and was recorded. You can find the recording in the GÉANT channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BexdKe4fKLc
