Question 3

Describe the advantages client/server networks offer over peer-to-peer networks.

Accepted Answer

Although client/server networks are typically more complex in their design and maintenance than peer-to-peer networks, they offer many advantages over peer-to-peer networks, such as:
· User logon accounts and passwords for anyone on a server-based network can be assigned in one place.
· Access to multiple shared resources (such as data files or printers) can be centrally granted to a single user or groups of users.
· Problems on the network can be monitored, diagnosed, and often fixed from one location.
· Servers are optimized to handle heavy processing loads and dedicated to handling requests from clients, enabling faster response time.
· Because of their efficient processing and larger disk storage, servers can connect more than a handful of computers on a network.
Together, these advantages make client/server networks easier to manage, more secure, and more powerful than peer-to-peer networks. They are also more scalable - that is, they can be more easily added onto and extended - than peer-to-peer networks.
