First, I don't know that it's true that P2P networking doesn't exist in large IT environments. File/printer sharing and peer-to-peer applications, if the ports are opened on the local subnet, are frequently allowed, at least internally. Exposing P2P file-sharing apps outside of a corporate DMZ poses an unconscionable security hazard.

But from a centralized administration perspective--the more turnover you have with users, groups, apps, and access makes centralized administration the only effective solution for maximizing user uptime and network security.
