Use cases where the amount of data makes it impractical to transfer over the network directly to the cloud, or from the cloud to the point of use, due to data volume, cost, or bandwidth issues.
Use cases where services are optimized for human consumption or to improve the human experience with technology-enabled services. Speed is the defining characteristic of this use case as delays in delivering data directly impact a user’s experience.
Use cases where services are optimized for machine-to-machine consumption. Because machines can process data much faster than humans, speed is the defining characteristic here (and the consequences for failing to deliver data within the required time “budget” can be higher than for Human-Latency Sensitive use cases).
Use cases that directly impact human health and safety. Speed and reliability are therefore paramount.
