Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which network is easier to keep track of files as they are all stored in a central location?
A
Client server network
B
Peer to peer network
C
Both client server and peer to peer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In client/server networks, users store their files on a central computer from which files are accessed directly. In the client/server network, the server is the central computer that stores the information, and the client is the computer (and user) that accesses the information from that central computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peer-to-peer network architecture is easy to set up and maintain as each computer manages itself. In the P2P network model, the response time is low as the computer systems are directly connected. We can easily share devices like printers among all the connected systems of the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -Client-server networks are computer networks that employ a dedicated computer to store data, manage/provide resources, and control user access (server). The server connects all of the other computers in the network by acting as a hub. A machine that connects to the server is known as a client.

Detailed explanation-4: -A server-based network is centralized in nature. Also, the storage in this kind of network is centralized. In other words, we can say that a server-based network is based on a centralized structure and provides a way to communicate via the web. The Internet is the most widely used client-server network.
