client-server, server farms, LAN, WAN

Which of the following is a primary advantage of using a client-server network over a peer-to-peer network?

• Users have equal control over all shared resources

• It offers lower maintenance costs and requires no central control

• Data can be centrally managed and backed up regularly

• Security relies on each user's device settings

In a server farm, what is a key factor to ensure that all servers function optimally?

• Low data transfer rates

• Use of copper wiring for cooling

• High processing power and effective cooling systems

• Server-specific operating systems for each server

Which of the following best describes a disadvantage of a client-server network?

• Users cannot share data or resources

• System updates cannot be deployed centrally

• Network performance depends on the availability of each user’s device

• Failure of a central server can disrupt access for all clients

In a VPN, data is encrypted before transmission. Which advantage does this encryption primarily provide?

• It speeds up data transfer rates across the internet

• It allows users to bypass server maintenance costs

• It ensures data remains secure even if intercepted

• It reduces the need for client-server architecture

Which network type typically connects a small number of devices within a limited geographical area, such as a school or office building?

• LAN

• WAN

• VPN

• Server farm

How does the ownership of network components differ between LANs and WANs?

• LAN components are usually leased, while WAN components are always owned

• LANs are fully controlled by third parties, unlike WANs

• LAN devices are typically owned by the individual or organization, while WAN devices may involve third-party ownership

• WANs rely entirely on radio waves, unlike LANs

In which scenario is the use of a VPN least likely to be beneficial?

• Accessing company data from a public Wi-Fi

• Encrypting sensitive emails sent over the internet

• Sharing public data on a highly secure local area network

• Accessing geo-restricted online content

Which of the following is a typical method of connection for both LAN and WAN networks?

• Radio waves exclusively

• Fiber optic cables

• Microprocessors

• Microprocessors

What is a primary disadvantage of VPNs in certain countries?

• VPNs are unable to encrypt data reliably

• VPNs are unable to encrypt data reliably

• VPN services are only available in specific countries

• They rely on outdated encryption protocols

Which of the following statements accurately describes a WAN?

• It connects devices within a single home or office building

• It typically involves direct physical connections between every client

• It is primarily used for high-speed data transmission over long distances

• Only companies with over 1,000 employees can set up WANs
