Peer to peer always has been a compromise method to save money.



Workstation operating systems have their process priorities set to accommodate the user sitting on the console rather than to server background network tasks. The server operating system give priority to network tasks. Peer to peer networking result in poor performance because of the demands made by the local user.



Additionally data corruption is common because of actions taken by the local user, or application software being run. If a remote user is in the process of writing to a shared file and the local user run something that crashes the machine, or simply decided to reboot or turn it off then the file will be corrupted. This is especially a problem with database files.



The book recommendation is that any more than 5 computers should have a dedicated server. My own experience is that if there are more than three, or if you have multiple people working on the same data you should have a server. Businesses trying to run peer to peer to save money often spend more in time recovering data, or lost work and IT time troubleshooting problems.
