Increased Data Traffic: A surge in data generated by business operations, customer interactions, and online services can overwhelm the existing network capacity. Scalability Issues: As businesses grow, their network infrastructure may not scale up proportionately, leading to bottlenecks. Inefficient Network Design: Poorly designed networks that do not optimize data flow and resource allocation can become strained under heavy use. Cybersecurity Threats: Attacks like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) can intentionally overload networks, causing strain.
