company or organization when there are very few computers. Since your organization currently has 20 Windows peer to peer client computers I would like for you to consider moving towards the client server network modelOnce a peer-to-peer network grows beyond 10 computers, it will likely begin to suffer from performance and from administrative problems (Posey, 2000) In the client server network model network hosts have specific roles which are assigned to them.

against Client server Networks. Discuss (briefly) the differences using the following factors: a.

files need to be accessed by all 10 users, and each user must have different security rights. What kind of network would you install?

Network Architecture The network architecture that will be used for the organization will be the client/server network. A client/server network would be more suitable because this is a business that is growing thus it will be easier to make changes and additions to the network. A WLAN Star Topology is going to be used because it will be cost effective and will allow room for future growth. The client/server network will be composed of Windows 2000 File Server, Exchange Server and Firewall Server
