Activity 2 Client-server vs Peer-to-peer – Low ability Tick the correct box(es) to show whether the statement applies to a client-server, a peer-to-peer or both networks. Statement Client-Server Peer-to-peer Computers are networked together. It has a central computer that provides all the services to the network. (Hint: Think about which network has a number of computers that are all connected to a central computer) Each computer in the network is there is no central computer controlling services. Most commonly found in a home or small office. (Hint: think about whether a home or a small office would really need a central computer controlling all services) Most commonly found in larger offices and organisations. can be backed-up to a central location from each computer on the network. Peripherals on the network can be shared. (Hint: peripherals are things like printer and scanners) An expensive network to set up as more hardware needs to be purchased A cheaper network to set up as less hardware needs to be purchased Files can be shared using the network. Each computer on the network needs to be maintained separately. (Hint: Think about which computer would have a central computer that could carry out maintenance services. Each computer will not need separately maintaining in this type of network)
