Match the network architecture with its description:

Peer to Peer = No need for full-time System Administrator Client-Server = Servers dedicated to managing disk drives, printers, or network traffic

Match the advantage/disadvantage with the correct network architecture:

Easy to install and configure = Peer to Peer Security vulnerabilities due to decentralized system = Peer to Peer Data recovery or backup difficulty = Peer to Peer Powerful servers managing network traffic = Client-Server

Match the characteristic with the correct network architecture:

All resources and contents shared by all peers = Peer to Peer Each computer is either a client or a server = Client-Server Failure of one peer doesn’t affect other peers = Peer to Peer Difficult administration due to decentralized system = Peer to Peer

Match the component with its role in the network architecture:

Print servers = Client-Server Centralized server serving many clients = Client-Server Cabling and device types included = Peer to Peer Network layout and topologies explained = Peer to Peer Signup and view all the answers

Match the statement about cost with the correct network architecture:

Comparatively very less cost for building and maintaining = Peer to Peer Dedicated powerful servers involved = Client-Server Full picture of established network provided = Peer to Peer Clients requesting service from a centralized server = Client-Server Signup and view all the answers

Match the following network architectures with their descriptions:

Client-Server Architecture = Centralized control and administration with data stored on a server Hybrid Network Architecture = Combines attributes of peer-to-peer and client-server architectures, utilizing centralized and decentralized structures Intranet Network Architecture = Organization's private, secured network operating on LAN with internal web site and services for employees Internet Architecture = Global system of interconnected computer networks connected to the internet with public information accessible Signup and view all the answers

Match the following advantages of Client-Server Architecture with their descriptions:

Centralization = Centralized control and administration with servers managing the whole setup Proper Management = All files stored in one place for easy access Back-up and Recovery possible = Data stored on server allows for easy backup procedures Security = Defining security rules and access rights during server setup Signup and view all the answers

Match the following disadvantages of Client-Server Architecture with their descriptions:

Congestion in Network = Potential network congestion due to high client requests Not as robust = Lacks robustness compared to other architectures Cost = Expensive to install and manage this type of computing architecture Upgradation and Scalability = Changes can be easily made by upgrading the server Signup and view all the answers

Match the following features of Intranet Network Architecture with their descriptions:

Secured computer network system = Private network using internet technologies operating on LAN Internal web site for employees = Intranet provides access to information and services quickly and easily Network gateway and firewall protection = Intranets are safeguarded from unauthorized external access through these measures Access to organization's resources via intranet = Employees can easily access all necessary information, applications, and resources through the intranet Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements about Hybrid Network Architecture with their descriptions:

Combines attributes of peer-to-peer and client-server architectures = Utilizes both centralized and decentralized structures for data transfer between peers and clients No need for a server when data is transferred between peers = Data transfer between peers does not require server intervention in this architecture Server is not overloaded in this architecture = Efficient management of data transfer without overloading the server Server required only when data is transferred between peers and clients = Server comes into play only when data transfer involves both peers and clients in this network structure Signup and view all the answers
