Setting Up Computer Servers (SUCs)

Prepared:
Ms. Mary Joy P. Dalisay
OBJECTIVES OF THE TOPIC

 Define and explain client-server and peer-to-peer

networking;

 Illustrate peer-to-peer network or server-client network

set-up and;

 Appreciate the concepts of client-server and peer-to-peer

networking.
PEER What is a peer?
Does your peer play a significant
role in your life?
 What is a ‘peer’?
A peer is an individual of equal standing

with another and belongs to a specific

societal group, sharing distinct characteristics

with this group.

 When learning about peer relationships, it is
essential to remember these questions.

What characteristics are you looking for in a friend?

What characteristics are you NOT looking for in a friend?

What is a Peer-to-Peer Network?
Peer-to-Peer Network
 Peer-to-Peer Network
- is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or
workloads between peers
- is a network created whenever two or more devices (usually a
computer) are connected and share resources
- also serves the role of a permanent infrastructure that can
connect more than a dozen computers in a small region amidst
the conventional offline environment.
Computer-communication networks allow the sharing of specialized
computer resources such as databases, programs, and hardware. Such a
network consists of both the computer resources and a communications
system interconnecting them and allowing their full utilization. In addition,
a resource-sharing network provides the means to increase cooperation and
interaction between individuals. Even if one of the sections is about to shut
down, other pairs continue to operate and communicate, ensuring that the
network does not stop working even if a single unit cannot perform its
functions. 

More about peer-to-peer

Let us take an example to understand how a peer-to-peer network works.

Suppose you want to download any file from the internet. In this case, you will
need to use a web browser to open any website over the internet. Considering this
scenario, the website you will visit plays the role of a server while your computer
or any device you use possesses the role of a client that will receive all the files
you will download. This entire network model performs some specific tasks just
like a one-way road where the data you download shifts from the website to your
device.
Let us take an example to understand how a peer-to-peer network works.

Whenever you browse the internet to search for a particular piece of content, this
task of downloading is controlled in a slightly different manner. You need to have
any peer-to-peer program installed on your device that can enable you to generate
a virtual peer-to-peer network. Once this is established successfully, the file you
want to download from the internet is received in the units of bits that come from
different devices in the network that already have the same file on them.
 Advantages of Peer-to-Peer Network
 No need for a network operating system.
 Does not need an expensive server because individual
workstations are used to access the files.
 No need for specialist staff such as network technicians because
users set their permissions as to which files they are willing to
share.
 Much easier to set up than a client-server network – does not
need specialist knowledge.
 If one computer fails, it will not disrupt any other part of the
network. It just means those files aren't available to other users,
then.
Disadvantages of Peer-to-Peer Network
 Files and folders cannot be centrally backed up.
 Because others might access each computer, it can slow
down the user’s performance.
 Files and resources are not centrally organized into a
specific ‘shared’ area.
 Ensuring that viruses are not introduced to the network
is the responsibility of each user.
 There is little or no security besides permission.

network from Word Bank. Write your answers in a table format.
