Short note on Network-As-A-Service (NAAS).

 NETWORK-AS-A-SERVICE (NAAS)

Over the last two decades or more, traditional networking topologies have prescribed that the network hub be built around a single place, such as a data center or a company's headquarters building. This s holds the majority of the computing, storage, communications, and security equipment, and it is where corporate applications are generally housed. Traffic from branch offices and other remote sites is o routed through this hub before being sent to other destinations, including the cloud. Though such a mechanism has been standard practice for many years, it no longer fits the way many businesses function today. For starters, there has been a significant shift to the cloud. Enterprise programs that drive t business are increasingly housed in cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, ee as proprietary apps or as SaaS programs like Office 365 and Salesforce. Businesses frequently employ various cloud systems.

Employees are increasingly mobile or remote workers these days, but they still want safe access to company apps and resources. A VPN is the standard method for providing mobile personnel with access to laaS or PaaS services, but it may be time-consuming and costly to set up. Cloud migration and mobility are becoming increasingly popular, putting a huge strain on existing networks. Network as a Service (NaaS), along with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as Service (SaaS), is sometimes mentioned as a distinct Cloud provider. This excludes networking, firewall, and related security from IaaS. NaaS can feature a flexible and extended Virtual Private Network (VPN) on-demand bandwidth, custom routing, multicast protocols, a security firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, a Wide Area Network (WAN), content monitoring and filtering, and antivirus. There are set criteria for what is contained in NaaS so the implementation mechanism varies. Some Network as a Service (NaaS) implementation is also referred to as Telco as a Service (TaaS).

Service models of NaaS

1. Virtual private network (VPN): 

VPN Extends a private network and the resources it contains across networks such as the Internet. It lets a host computer send and receive data over shared or public networks as if they were private networks, with all of the capabilities and regulations that come with them.

2. Bandwidth on Demand (BoD): 

The process of allocating network capacity is based on the needs of different nodes or users. Connection rates can be dynamically modified to the traffic demands of the nodes connected to the link under this architecture.

3. Mobile network virtualization: 

A telecommunications manufacturer or independent network operator creates and runs a network and offers communication access capabilities to third parties, who are often mobile phone carriers on a capacity usage basis. A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is a supplier of mobile communications services that does not own the radio spectrum or wireless network equipment over which it operates.
Example: Senet - LoRaWAN is a NaaS for IoT and machine-to-machine communication.

What are different steps used in JDBC? Write down a small program showing all steps.

-
 T he fundamental steps involved in the process of connecting to a database and executing a query consist of the following: Import JDBC packages. Load and register the JDBC driver. Open a connection to the database. Create a statement object to perform a query. Execute the statement object and return a query resultset. Process the resultset. Close the resultset and statement objects. Close the connection. These steps are described in detail in the sections that follow. 1. Import JDBC Packages This is for making the JDBC API classes immediately available to the application program. The following import statement should be included in the program irrespective of the JDBC driver being used: import java.sql.*; Additionally, depending on the features being used, Oracle-supplied JDBC packages might need to be imported. For example, the following packages might need to be imported while using the Oracle extensions to JDBC such as using advanced data types such as BLOB, and so on. import o...

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Pure Versus Partial EC

-
Image
Pure Versus Partial EC EC takes several forms depending on the degree of digitization (the transformation from physical to digital). Companies utilizing pure EC conduct all of their business online. Businesses utilizing partial EC conduct a portion of their business online and a portion of their business off-line OR,    Pure E-electronic commerce refers to a situation where a business transacts its business activities PURELY online. that is, the goods or services sold do not have any physical presence. take a business that sells software, for example, you just pay and download, or one that sells music files online. Partial E-Commerce on the other hand refers to a slightly opposite situation where a business has an online presence, but still has a physical location for the goods and services it sells. For example, Amazon, Walmart, and any other you can think of. you buy the goods online but receive them physically.                   ...
