Brent has deployed multiple brands of IoT devices across his organization to ensure that if an issue with one type of device or device vendor occurs others will still function. What is the largest concern he should address with this design that focuses on platform diversity?

IoT devices are typically deployed for long periods of time, meaning that over time the complexity of managing a multiple device and vendor environment is the largest concern. Initial concerns about ease of deployment would exist but could be overcome. Availability and resilience are both typically helped by platform diversity as outages or issues found with one device or vendor should not impact others.
