Definition:
nClient/server describes the relationship between two computer programs in which one program, the client, makes a service request from another program, the server, which fulfills the request.
nServers are powerful computers or processes dedicated to managing disk drives (file servers), printers (print servers), or network traffic (network Servers ). Clients are PCs or workstations on which users run applications.
nClient-server architectures are sometimes called two-tier architectures.
Benefits:
nCentralized - Resources and data security are controlled through the server.
nScalability - Any or all elements can be replaced individually as needs increase.
nFlexibility - New technology can be easily integrated into system.
nAccessibility - Server can be accessed remotely and across multiple platforms.
nBackup - as all data is stored centrally it is easy to backup.
