A network administrator has finished migrating from a peer-to-peer network to a new client-server network configuration. What are two advantages of the new configuration? (Choose two.)
-
The total cost of the new solution is considerably lower.
-
Data resources and access are centrally controlled.
-
Personnel costs are lower because a dedicated network administrator is no longer necessary.
-
Data is more secure in the event of hardware failures.
-
Individual users are in control of their own computers and network resources.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Data resources and access are centrally controlled.
A. Data is more secure in the event of hardware failures.Explanation
The new client-server network configuration allows for central control of data resources and access, ensuring that all data is stored and managed in a centralized location. This improves efficiency and streamlines the management of data within the network. Additionally, the new configuration provides increased security in the event of hardware failures, as data is stored on dedicated servers rather than individual computers. This reduces the risk of data loss and ensures that data can be easily recovered in case of hardware failures.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
fan
FanExplanation
A fan is used to draw heat away from the CPU. Fans are commonly used in computer systems to cool down the CPU and prevent it from overheating. They work by circulating air around the CPU, dissipating the heat generated by its operation. The movement of the fan blades creates airflow, which helps to remove the hot air and bring in cooler air, thus maintaining a safe operating temperature for the CPU.Rate this question:
