A client-server network better than a peer-to-peer network because it allows centralized control. This includes centralized user management and enforcement of centralized security measures.
Centralized Data Processing (CDP) uses Centralised computers, processing, data, control, support. The advantages are Economy for equipment and personnel, Lack of duplication, Ease in enforcing standards, security. In Distributed Data Processing (DDP)Computers are dispersed throughout organisation. Which allows greater flexibility in structure, More redundancy and More autonomy. Hi, Centralized data processing is a Computer data processing architecture where data processing support is provided by one or a cluster of computers, generally a large. dedicated computers, located in a central data processing facility. In a centralized architecture, each person is provided with a local terminal that is connected by a communications facility to the central data processing facility. A fully centralized data processing has following features: 1. Centralized computers 2. Centralized processing 3. Centralized Data 4. Centralized Control 5. Centralized Staff Support A Distributed data processing facility is one in which computers, usually smaller computers, are dispersed throughout the organization. The objective of such disperse is to process information in a way that is most effective based on operational. Therefore, DDP (Distributed Data Processing) features: 1. A collection of terminals link together by some kind of communication link and has no main central computer or not fully (minimal) depend on central computer. 2. Processing of information is happening on each terminal and send results to a main server for store and retrieval purposes. 3. Data may duplicate as data may store in locally or in remote server. 4. Local computer operator can control the machine in his premises. 5. Separate staff will maintain central computer (if there any) where other terminals may control by one or few other members. Hope this will help you! (H.W Thushara Indika from Bandarawela - Sri Lanka)

Peer-To-Peer
Some of the disadvantages of the centralized network is that it is complex to computation. The other disadvantage is that a single point failure may affect the entire network.

A peer-to-peer network is easier to set up.
A network processor is defined as an integrated circuit which has a set specifically targeted at the networking application domain. Network processing does not have a clear definition but it should include all of the aspects of how a network operates.
Administrators desiring a centralized model of resource management should consider the client-server model. It refers to a distributed application structure that divides tasks or workloads between servers and clients.
