In a server-based network, there is a server to which all the other computers are connected and are called as clients. The server is responsible for administrating the entire network. There are several clients connected to the server through a domain.
Besides having the advantage of providing central file storage, easy manageability and relatively lower costs due to pooled hardware, the server-based network also has some disadvantages. The dedicated hardware used in these networks can be expensive. The operating systems and the licenses for every client can prove to be expensive. Usually this kind of network also requires a dedicated network administrator.
