35
Which of the following statements is true? (Choose two.) - Client/server networks can easily scale, which might require the purchase of additional client licenses. - Client/server networks can cost more than peer-to-peer networks. For example, client/server networks might require the purchase of dedicated server hardware and a network OS with an appropriate number of licenses. - Peer-to-peer networks can be very difficult to install. - Peer-to-peer networks typically cost more than client/server networks because there is no requirement for dedicated server resources or advanced NOS software.
