Establishing the right kind of network for your organization is important to make the most of your time and money. While peer-to-peer network is often a good choice for small networks, in an environment with more than 10-15 computers, a peer-to-peer network begins to become more trouble than it is worth: your computers start to slow down, you can never find the file you are looking for, and security is non-existent. If this is happening in your organization, it is probably time to switch to a client-server network by bringing in a dedicated server to handle the load. The server is called "dedicated" because it is optimized to serve requests from the "client" computers quickly.
The client-server model of networking is the way to go for larger organizations. Once you have a client-server network set up, it should provide you with more flexibility than a peer-to-peer network as your needs change. For example, as network traffic increases, you can add another server to handle the additional load. You can also consider spreading out tasks to various servers, ensuring that they are performed in the most efficient manner possible. Most importantly, a client-server network is much easier to secure and back up, greatly improving the reliability and confidentiality of your data.
Benefits of Client/Server networking
Central administration and security: Both for system administrators and for system users, the client-server model of file sharing means that there's only one system (or group of systems) responsible for the data distribution, and usually a professional system administrator (or team of administrators) deals with the security issues.
Optimization: server hardware is designed to serve requests from clients quickly
Centralization: files are in one location for easy administration
Security: multiple levels of permissions can prevent users from doing damage to files
Redundancy and Back-up: data can be stored in redundant ways making for quick restore in case of problems.
