Fiber infrastructure provider Zayo has launched a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform that enables operators to provision and scale connections at speed.

Dubbed DynamicLink, the offering is designed to simplify network operations, allowing operators to instantly configure 1G, 10G, or 100G connections, adjust bandwidth, and add security services through a single self-service platform.

DynamicLink offers real-time network configuration for Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Ethernet, Cloudlink, and IP-VPN across the entirety of Zayo’s network, with users able to manage network settings and cloud connectivity directly, eliminating manual provisioning.

The fiber giant contends that rival offerings fail to meet the definition of true NaaS from analyst firm Gartner: highly automated network configuration models with self-service interfaces and dynamic scaling.

The vendor’s DynamicLink solution aims to provide operators with the ability to scale up and down bandwidth in seconds, a process it claims previously took weeks.

Its software-led NaaS offering also comes with an AI agent capable of helping operators to provision services through plain-language commands.

“Today’s organizations aren’t just future-proofing, they’re chaos-proofing. With market forces shifting overnight, they need a network experience that moves as quickly as their business,” said Bill Long, chief product and strategy officer at Zayo. “That’s what we’re delivering with DynamicLink. Not a vision or a possibility of NaaS, but a real, intelligent solution that delivers the control, agility, and ease our customers need.”

The launch of the new NaaS offering comes amid a period of expansion for the Boulder, Colorado-based firm.

Zayo is already building out 5,000 fiber route miles, as well as integrating an additional 90,000 miles through its $4.5 billion acquisition of Crown Castle’s fiber assets.

Its network currently spans some 19.1 million miles and 147,000 route miles, but the vendor is eying expansion amid an influx of demand amid the AI boom. Zayo recently struck a debt restructuring deal with creditors to provide it with more financial flexibility to continue its expansion.

Zayo isn’t the only fiber vendor looking to slash provisioning times, though. Rival Lumen recently unveiled RapidRoutes, a set of pre-defined, high-demand network connections aimed at drastically reducing provisioning from months to a 20-day delivery service level agreement (SLA).
