Description

5G to Provide Boost to Edge Computing

In this IDC Perspective, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a crucial use case of 5G technology, which has the potential to transform the way we process and analyze data. By utilizing the high-speed, low-latency, and reliable capabilities of 5G, MEC deployments can achieve operational efficiency, enhance reliability, and improve user experience (UX). Consequently, MEC is a vital area of interest for telecommunication carriers and other industry players that aim to maximize the full potential of 5G technology. This document discusses the importance of MEC as a 5G use case and highlights how 5G can accelerate edge computing to achieve operational efficiency and enhance reliability. It also presents examples of industrial use cases that leverage 5G MEC technology."5G can accelerate MEC deployment and help achieve operational efficiency while increasing reliability. The 5G capabilities (higher bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and greater reliability) are essential for enabling MEC because they allow for the fast and reliable transmission of data between devices and edge computing resources," says Khairil Anwar Rahmat, senior research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
