Advantages and Disadvantages to Peer-to-Peer and Client/Server Networks Peer-to-Peer


*      Advantages

·         Easy and simple to set up only requiring a hub or a switch to connect all computers together.
·         You can access any file on the computer as-long as it is set to a shared folder.
·         If one computer fails to work all the other computers connected to it still continue to work.
*      Disadvantages

·         Security is not good other than setting passwords for files that you don't want people to access.
·         If the connections are not connected to the computers properly then there can be problems accessing certain files.
It does not run efficient if you have many computers, it is best to used two to eight computers.


Client/Server

*      Advantages

·         A client server can be scaled up to many services that can also be used by multiple users.
·         Security is more advanced than a peer-to-peer network, you can have passwords to own individual profiles so that nobody can access anything when they want.
·         All the data is stored onto the servers which generally have far greater security controls than most clients.
·         server can control the access and resources better to guarantee that only those clients with the appropriate permissions may access and change data.

*      Disadvantages

·         More expensive than a peer-to-peer network you have to pay for the start up cost.
·         When the server goes down or crashes all the computers connected to it become unavailable to use.
·         When you expend the server it starts to slow down due to the Bit rate per second.
·         When everyone tries to do the same thing it takes a little while for the server to do certain tasks.
