Terms in this set (10)

Peer-to-Peer is...

...a network where each computer has the same status and they are able to communicate with each other on an equal footing.

Advantages of p2p [1]

- Cost saving - no server is needed, so all the computers can be the same.
- No network manager is needed - all users take responsibility for the network.
- Easy to set up - they are the simplest of networks (anyone can set them up).

Advantages of p2p [2]

- No reliance on a server - no worry about server breaking down.
- Lower operating costs - less setup & maintenance costs.
- Peer responsibility - users decide which resources other users can use on their computer.

Disadvantages of p2p [1]

- Poorer security - as resources are shared.
- Back ups - not made centrally, places the responsibilty on all the users to back up own data.

Disadvantages of p2p [2]

- Harder to find files which are not stored centrally.
- Network size - Only suitable for very small networks (15 or less)

Client-server is...

...a network where several computers are connected to one or more servers.

Advantages client-server [1]

- Security - is better as it is centralised and one persons responsibility.
- Backups and software installation can be done centrally.

Advantages client-server [2]

- Backups central - means data & programs are unlikely to be lost.
- Centrally stored files are easier to find.

Disadvantages client-server [1]

- More expensive - servers are expensive to buy.
- One machine more important than the rest.
- Need specialist knowledge - need a person [wage;cost] with technical knowledge to manage network.

Disadvantages client-server [2]

- Network manager allocates access to resources on the network - not like p2p peerresponsibility.
- Network operating systems require technical knowledge to setup & maintenance.
- If the server breaks down, the network is unusable.
