1.3. Central Storage of News For clusters of hosts connected together by fast local area networks (such as Ethernet), it makes even more sense to consolidate news distribution onto one (or a very few) hosts, and to allow access to these news articles using a server and client model. Subscribers may then request only the articles they wish to see, without having to wastefully duplicate the storage of a copy of each item on each host.
