2.1.4. Pros for Peer-to-Peer Networks

Peer-to-peer networks offer various points of interest, especially for littler firms, as takes after:

a)   Use less costly PC hardware Peer-to-peer networks are the slightest equipment concentrated. In an immaculate peer-to-peer network, the assets are disseminated over numerous PCs, so there is no requirement for a top of the line server PC. The effect on every workstation is generally (not always) moderately minor.

b)  Easy to administer Peer-to- peer networks are, generally, simplest to set up and control, gave that there aren't too numerous PCs inside the peer-to-peer network. Since every machine performs its own particular administration—as a rule for certain limited assets—the exertion of administering the network is broadly dispersed among a wide range of individuals.

c)   No network OS required: Peer-to- peer networks doesn’t require a network operating system (NOS). You can make a peer-to-peer network utilizing Windows XP or Vista on every workstation, or all Macintosh PCs so far as that is concerned. These clients OSs incorporate all the components needed for peer-to-peer networking. So also, you can do this with all UNIX-or Linux-based PCs (despite the fact that this is substantially more confused to set up and keep up, in light of the fact that UNIX and Linux are intense and complex).

d)  More built-in redundancy: If you have a small network, with 10 to 20 workstations each storing some vital data and one stops working, despite everything you have a large portion of your common assets accessible. A peer-to-peer network outline can offer more excess than a client/server network on the grounds that less single purposes of disappointment can influence the whole network and everybody who utilizes it.
