Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) – What use cases make sense

Multi-access edge compute (MEC) aims to lower latency and improve service delivery by bringing network gears closer to end users. The global MEC market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 42% from 2021 to 2028, driven by the increasing use of IoT devices across various industries. Key use cases for MEC include multiplayer cloud gaming, image/video analytics, content management at edge, and IoT applications at any scale. Aerospike's real-time data platform adds value to these use cases by offering consistent performance, low TCO, and efficient handling of time series data models. As MEC becomes more mainstream, we can expect an explosion of new use cases that leverage its low latency capabilities.
