Client/Server Networks

 

Establishing the right kind of network for your organization is important to make the most of your time and money. While peer-to-peer network  is often a good choice for small networks, in an environment with more than 10-15 computers, a peer-to-peer network begins to become more trouble than it is worth: your computers start to slow down, you can never find the file you are looking for, and security is non-existent. If this is happening in your organization, it is probably time to switch to a client-server network by bringing in a dedicated server to handle the load. The server is called "dedicated" because it is optimized to serve requests from the "client" computers quickly. The diagram below shows a simple client-server network:

 

 

 

What is a server?

 

A server is simply a computer that is running software that enables it to serve specific requests from other computers, called "clients." For example, you can set up a file server that becomes a central storage place for your network, a print server that takes in print jobs and ships them off to a printer, as well as a multitude of other servers and server functions.

 

A server provides many benefits including:

  • Optimization: server hardware is designed to serve requests from clients quickly

  • Centralization: files are in one location for easy administration

  • Security: multiple levels of permissions can prevent users from doing damage to files

  • Redundancy and Back-up: data can be stored in redundant ways making for quick restore in case of problems.
