Types of Network
Client-server
- Network managed by a server, which takes requests from client devices
- This server stores user profiles, passwords and access information
- Pros - Easier to perform back, easier to install and update software and servers are very reliable
- Cons - Expensive to set up, server dependent if server goes down all clients lose access to their work and it could be overloaded
Peer-To-Peer
- all devices are equal and connect directly to each other
- It stores files on individual devices and share them with others
- Pros - Easy to maintain and it is not dependent on a server
- Cons - Peer machines are less reliable and data may be lost if one fails, machines slow down when other devices access them and copying files between devices creates duplicates
