Which three options are benefits of the Connected Factory solution? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• Aextensively tested, validated, and well-documented architecture
• Bend-to-end architecture
• Csuperior reliability
• Dlow-cost, converged industrial network solution
• Eremoves the need for a security solution

• A
  90% (28)
• D
  6% (2)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

Cisco's Connected Factory solution is a vendor-validated reference design for industrial networking, making A correct - it provides an extensively tested, validated, and documented architecture that customers can deploy with confidence. B is correct because it covers the full end-to-end network from the plant floor to the enterprise level, not just isolated segments. C is correct because industrial environments demand high availability, and superior reliability is a core design goal of the solution.

D is a trap - while the solution does involve a converged industrial network, "low-cost" is not a stated benefit; it's an enterprise-grade solution prioritizing reliability and security over cost minimization. E is obviously false and should be an immediate discard - connected industrial environments are more exposed to cyber threats, so security solutions are essential, not eliminated.

Memory tip: Think of A-B-C as the three pillars of any enterprise solution worth deploying: Architecture (tested/documented), Breadth (end-to-end), and Continuity (reliability). If an answer says something is "cheap" or "removes security," treat it as a red flag - validated industrial solutions are never cheap shortcuts, and security is never optional in OT/IT convergence.
