Graphiant – A CSP-Grade NaaS that Meets Gartner Specifications: Minute-Scale Provisioning, Fabric-Native SASE and AI-Built Intelligence

Graphiant meets Gartner’s mandatory NaaS requirements — and exceeds them with minute-level elasticity, a stateless core that enforces deterministic automation, PAYG commerce via cloud marketplaces, fabric-native security and AI.

Graphiant Meeting Gartner Requirements

Gartner defines the NaaS checklist for Communications Service Providers (CSPs): dynamic scalability, automated delivery and programmable underlays, consumption pricing, self-service APIs and ITSM integration, AI-driven customer intelligence, deep SASE integration, multicloud attributes, and rapid life-cycle velocity.

Graphiant implements every capability and provides distinct advantages at each point. Graphiant has minute-scale provisioning for cloud and AI, a deterministic core network, PAYG and marketplace commerce with predictable monthly OPEX, embedded SASE in the fabric, and AI decisioning surfaced to customers.

Operational Agility & Dynamic Scalability — Minute-Scale Elasticity

Gartner identifies dynamic, on-demand capacity as a mandatory NaaS feature and notes on-demand periods in market are typically 24 hours. Graphiant redefines that baseline: cloud gateways and backbone attachments can be instantiated “within a few minutes,” enabling customers to flex port speeds, bandwidth profiles and service slices in near real time for cloud connectivity and AI training workloads. This transforms seasonal or event-driven elasticity into operational agility measured in minutes rather than days.

“Graphiant converts Gartner’s 24-hour market baseline into minute-scale operational elasticity — cloud gateways and backbone attachments provision in minutes.”

Automated Service Delivery & Programmable Underlay — Deterministic Automation

Gartner requires an API-first, highly automated delivery model built on a programmable underlay. Graphiant stateless core and microservices architecture are natively multi-tenant, elastically scalable and fault tolerant. Service definitions, templates, and life-cycle operations are codified and executed through the platform’s SDKs and APIs, ensuring every policy change is deterministic, auditable, and repeatable.

Consumption Pricing & Commercial Predictability — PAYG via Marketplaces

Gartner mandates consumption/usage-based pricing while noting enterprises prioritize cost predictability. Graphiant supports PAYG and multi-year contracts and is directly purchasable through cloud marketplaces such as AWS Marketplace. The company publishes a concrete entry-level commercial baseline (starting price point: $3,500/month), giving enterprises a predictable OPEX anchor while preserving true elasticity for transient high-bandwidth events.

Self-Service APIs & ITSM Integration — Enterprise Automation at Scale

Gartner stresses APIs and ITSM interoperability; industry benchmarks show major providers reporting 60–70% API adoption for ITSM integration. Graphiant exposes a full, documented API surface and an API gateway in the Graphiant Portal, and provides prebuilt integrations to standard ITSM toolchains. The result is that enterprises embed Graphiant into their runbooks and automation pipelines, achieving the same programmatic control Gartner identifies essential for co-managed and DIY operational models.

Fabric-Native SASE & Security — Policy as Code, Applied End-to-End

Security is not an add-on. Graphiant enforces segmentation, zero-trust primitives, secure breakout and unified policy management natively in the fabric. Gateways and the stateless core implement SLA negotiation, split-horizon routing and tenant isolation as default service attributes. The upshot is a single policy plane that prevents drift and delivers a consistent security posture across sites and cloud endpoints, meeting Gartner’s mandate that SASE be foundational.

“Security is fabric-native: segmentation, zero-trust primitives and unified policy are enforced end-to-end, not sold as optional overlays.”

AI-Built Management — Customer-Facing Predictive Intelligence

Gartner elevates AI from internal AIOps to customer-facing capabilities. Graphiant’s network is built “for and by AI,” with embedded telemetry, threshold detection and predictive decisioning in the control plane. Intelligence is surfaced as actionable recommendations and policy-driven automation that either execute automatically or await customer approval — delivering proactive capacity adjustments and deterministic outcomes for data-intensive workloads.

Granular Application Controls — Per-Workload Fidelity

Gartner requires granular, application-aware controls. Graphiant provides per-application QoS, prioritized network paths, and programmable security policies that take effect dynamically. Enterprises gain exacting operational control for collaboration and AI training traffic, plus the telemetry needed to enforce SLAs for mission-critical workloads.

Programmable Multicloud & Fabric Connectivity — Cloud Attachments in Minutes

Gartner expects direct, on-demand hyperscaler connectivity. Graphiant’s Cloud Gateway Service supports native DirectConnect, ExpressRoute, FastConnect and Dedicated Interconnect attachments and provisions routed cloud networking in minutes. This removes manual peering complexity, reduces latency, and enforces consistent policy and telemetry across cloud and on-prem domains.

Procurement Velocity & Life-Cycle Speed — Cloud-Aligned Cadence

Gartner demands procurement and provisioning speed. Graphiant compresses timelines through service templates, rapid quoting, partner-led activations and cloud marketplace purchasing, moving network procurement and provisioning from telco timelines to cloud-aligned cycles. That operational velocity is a material differentiator for enterprises that require fast time-to-service.

Conclusion

Graphiant takes Gartner’s NaaS concepts and operationalizes them into measurable advantages: minute-scale provisioning, a stateless core that delivers deterministic automation, PAYG commerce via marketplaces, fabric-native SASE, and customer-facing AI. Graphiant is a production-grade CSP NaaS platform that enables enterprises to replace hardware ownership with outcome-driven network consumption.
