What is one impact of Internet of Things (loT) on customer environments?

1. A. loT consistently shifts network traffic away from the wireless network and towards the wired network.
2. B. loT helps customers minimize their vulnerability to attacks at the edge.
3. C. loT increases the number of devices that edge networks must accommodate.
4. D. loT decreases network utilization at the edge and increases utilization in the cloud.

Correct Answer: C
Internet of Things (loT) is the term used to describe the network of physical objects that areembedded with sensors, actuators, and connectivity to exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. loT devices can range from smart home appliances, wearable devices, industrial machines, vehicles, and more. loT has a significant impact on customer environments, as it increases the number of devices that edge networks must accommodate, manage, and secure. Edge networks are the networks that connect users and devices to the core network and the cloud. As loT devices proliferate, edge networks face challenges such as scalability, performance, reliability, security, and visibility.

•What is IoT: The Internet of Things explained | McKinsey: “IoT uses a variety of technologies to connect the digital and physical worlds. Physical objects are embedded with sensors—which can monitor things like temperature or motion, or really any change in environment—and actuators—which receive signals from sensors and then do something in response to those changes.”
•How Is the Internet of Things Changing Our Lives?: “The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing our lives in many ways. It is transforming how we work, play, learn, and communicate. It is also creating new opportunities and challenges for businesses, governments, and society.”
