Switches are used for connectivity in a wired network to provide connection from client to server.

In the past this term was coined as a server. This is a bit of an obselete term as there is now NAS. Network Attached Storage can be used as a full operational computer running file sharing services or sharing-specific distributions of Linux such as FreeNAS. In addition to solutions as FreeNAS or multi-raided storage servers, there are small, private or small-business oriented NAS drives available that are composed of a controller card, a network card, and a housing for one or more harddrives. A good way to see many of these would be to reference NAS on NewEgg or TigerDirect or similar online wholesaler websites, or to check out the larger home oriented solutions available from major retailers like Hewlett-Packard. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/User:Frogsbite What type of network has a computer called a file server that acts as the central storage location?

Small departments and companies successfully use peer to peer networking because they do not require anything more costly or sophisticated.
