A client/server system distributes processes between client computers that request services and server computers that provide requested services. It includes clients, servers, and communication middleware. Clients are front-end applications that users interact with, servers are back-end applications that provide background services, and middleware facilitates communication between clients and servers. Client/server systems change how data is processed and accessed by allowing data to be stored and shared across multiple sites.

Computing

4. A client/server system is a networked computing model that
distributes processes between clients and servers, which supply the
requested service

5. The client/Server architecture is based on
hardware and software components that
interacts to form a system.
This system includes three main components:
Clients
Servers
Communication middleware

6.  The client is any computer process that
requests services from the server.
 The client is also known as the front-end
application, reflecting the fact that the end
user usually interacts with the client process.

7.  The server is any computer process providing
services to the clients.
 The server is also known as the back-end
application, reflecting the fact that the server
process provides the background services for
the client process.

8.  It is any computer process through which
clients and servers communicate.
 The communication middleware, also known
as middleware or the communications layers,
is made up of several layers of software that
aid the transmission of data and control
information between clients and servers

10.  Client/server systems change the way in
which we approach data processing. Data
may be stored in one site or in multiple sites.

11.  GUI-based development
 A GUI builder that supports multiple
interfaces
 Object-oriented development with support
for code reusability
 Data dictionary with a central repository for
data and applications
 Support for multiple databases

12.  Team development support
 Support for third-party development tools
 Prototyping and rapid application
development (RAD) capabilities
