# Azure private multi-access edge compute partner solutions
13-
For Azure multi-access edge compute (MEC), Microsoft is collaborating with leading third-party providers to develop a robust partner ecosystem across all layers of the stack and value chain. This ecosystem enables Azure private MEC to support diverse use cases and requirements, enabling partners to add unique end-customer value.

## Azure private MEC ecosystem
16-
Azure private MEC solution partners include managed service providers, platform partners, and application ISVs.
17-
- **Managed Service Providers** include Operators and SIs that are responsible for planning, deployment, operation of a customer’s Azure private MEC implementation. These providers bring assets and expertise such as spectrum, RF planning, installation, maintenance, and support. Operators and SIs enable customers to rapidly deploy the Azure private MEC solution without requiring in-house expertise in complexities surrounding mobile network technologies.
18-
- **Platform Partners** bring critical hardware and software components to the Azure private MEC ecosystem, such as Network Functions, Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies, SIMs & Devices, and Operational Support Systems (OSS/BSS). Customers can deploy the mix of platform technologies that fit their specific environment and requirements.
19-
- **Application ISV Partners** bring ready to deploy software solutions built for Azure private MEC. These applications apply the low latency edge computing capabilities of Azure private MEC to deliver a customer’s specific use-cases within industries such as manufacturing or retail, along with cross-industry capabilities such as computer vision or analytics.
