P2P I was just wondering View Public Profile. View Review Entries. Find More Posts by greenpenguin Visit berrance's homepage! Find More Posts by exit Posts: Rep:. Visit Emerson's homepage!

Correction Well, I was wrong.

A problem can occur when you need to deliver large volumes of data such as documents, video or images. The peer-to-peer approach solves that by allowing each remote office to participate in data delivery. This reduces the load on the centralized server, and significantly reduces central server and networking requirements. Furthermore, remote offices often have limited bandwidth to each office.
Moving the same data over and over again utilizing this weak link is wasteful and inefficient. This is exactly what happens in a client-server model. P2P software solves this naturally by finding the best source for the data, the best routing between data sources regardless if it is a local dedicated server or remote server.
Patching and updating a large number of endpoint operating systems is a challenge that is particularly suited for P2P software. Centrally serving updates in a client server model, makes no sense considering the limitation of the branch office internet mentioned in the section above. Additionally, the update application is sporadic in nature, but peak demand for a critical update such as a security vulnerability can be intense. Exposure to a vulnerability for even a day can be catastrophic.
Solutions like branch cache from Microsoft are examples of solving the availability challenge with more servers and more infrastructure. Peer to peer distribution of these updates is far more efficient and much faster than traditional client server models. The updates can be delivered at peak speed without a massive investment in server infrastructure that has to be managed for each branch office.
The solution is ideal for large enterprises like financial institutions, nonprofit and retail settings where many office locations must be managed and secured. While the speed of the P2P network grows as more clients join the transfer. The point to point and distribution of data from one node to several nodes is faster too.
This misconception originates in the popular private P2P use case of illegal file sharing. Illegal file sharing and intellectual property theft expose your infrastructure and computers to all the problems. The risk for an enterprise P2P application does not exist, since all entities participating in distribution are secure enterprise machines. As we saw above, peer to peer is just a way to establish a connection and assign roles between machines.
It does need additional security mechanisms that can perform mutual authentication and authorization, as well as access control and traffic encryption. However, these additional security features are built into enterprise P2P solutions like Resilio Connect. We explored this question in a detailed whitepaper: Why P2P is faster. In a nutshell, P2P is always faster. How much faster depends on data size and scale.
The larger they are, the bigger the differences. In the example in the article, client-server took 3X as long to send a GB file. Make the effort, and we'll show you how to move data faster over any network. Make the effort, and we'll show you how to overcome issues you might have with your existing tools, allowing you to move data faster, regardless of data size or network limitations.
Connect for Enterprises. Resilio's premier real-time data sync and transfer solution that provides industry-leading speed, scale, reliability and central management. File sharing designed for small teams who don't require the fastest transfer speed, more than 2 servers or central management. Basic file sharing designed for individuals not for business use on desktops and mobile devices only no servers.
Server Sync. Case Studies. Try Resilio Connect. Client-Server Introduction With the widespread adoption of the World Wide Web and HTTP in the mids, the Internet was transformed from an early peer-to-peer network into a content consumption network.
Peer to Peer P2P Introduction The peer-to-peer model differs in that all hosts are equally privileged and act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, such as network bandwidth and computer processing. Availability The most obvious problem faced by all client-server applications is one of availability.
