hat is the main disadvantage of a client-server network

Correct answer: A. Client/Server

  • A. Client/Server
  • B. Hybrid
  • C. Peer-to-Peer
  • D. All of these

Explanation

It lists client/server as the main disadvantage of a client-server network. However, this is not entirely accurate. Client-server networks have both advantages and disadvantages. Here's a breakdown:Disadvantages of client-server networks:● Single point of failure: If the server fails, all clients on the network will be unable to access shared resources.● Scalability: Adding new clients can put a strain on the server's resources, requiring upgrades to maintain performance.● Cost: Setting up and maintaining a client-server network can be expensive, especially for the hardware and software required for the server.Advantages of client-server networks:● Security: Centralized storage and access control on the server can make it easier to implement security measures.● Centralized management: Easier to manage software updates, data backups, and user permissions from a central location.● Performance: A powerful server can handle resource-intensive tasks more efficiently than individual client machines.In conclusion, client-server is not inherently a disadvantage, but rather a network architecture with its own set of pros and cons
