This year, Mesosphere users were surveyed to gain insight into usage statistics and industry trends. Based on 744 respondents in 2016 and 2018, two key areas that showed significant growth were multi-cloud and Kubernetes.
Technology is the number one industry leveraging Mesosphere. For example, the software (SaaS, Web, Mobile) industry consists of 46% of survey respondents and consulting (IT) industries make up 12%.
Enterprise Want Growth, Efficiency, and Digital Transformation
Internet of things, machine learning, hybrid architecture and the ability to save time are some key standouts in the report:
- A German Auto Manufacturer is using IoT technology to enable connected cars with integrated data services. Such as, real- time traffic information and sensor data.
- Telecom is utilizing machine learning to help their 156 million customers connect to the best hotspots or networks, improve customer experience, and unblock network capacities.
- Athena Health is using hybrid architecture to reduce data queries from minutes to milliseconds. They can deliver new data-driven doctor patient services for 100,000 medical providers.
