| Until now, you may have relied on interconnected PCs–known as a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network–to share files and resources. Such a setup may be adequate for one to five users, but it can restrict growth, reduce access speeds, and make it difficult to protect information and keep it available. With a shared and centralized server computing solution that benefits from the performance and reliability advantages over P2P and other non-server computing approaches, you can easily get more out of your computing resources. |
|
| A basic server network provides the same essential capabilities (access to data, printers, e-mail, and applications)–but it also gives a lot more users access to shared central resources. In addition, server-based computing offers a host of other important characteristics. |
