1. Client-Server Architecture
• A Comprehensive Overview

• Date: [Presentation Date]

2. What is Client-Server Architecture?
• - A network model dividing tasks between
clients and servers
• - Clients request services; servers respond
• - Common in web, email, enterprise
applications

3. Components of the Architecture
• **Client:**
• - Sends requests
• - User-facing interface (browser/app)
• - Doesn’t handle heavy processing
• **Server:**
• - Processes requests
• - Manages databases, files, logic
• - Centralized and scalable

4. How It Works
• 1. Client sends request to the server
• 2. Server processes the request
• 3. Server sends response back
• (Visual: Flow diagram – Client → Server →
Response to Client)

5. Example – Online Shopping
Website
• - Client: Web browser or shopping app
• - Server: Hosts product info, cart data,
payment system
• - User browses → Sends request → Server
responds

6. Benefits of Client-Server
Architecture
• - Centralized resource management
• - Scalable and efficient
• - Enhanced security control
• - Easy maintenance and updates

7. Drawbacks to Consider
• - Single point of failure (server dependency)
• - Scalability limits
• - High network traffic
• - Expensive setup and maintenance

8. Comparison with P2P Architecture
• Client-Server vs Peer-to-Peer
• | Feature | Client-Server | Peer-to-Peer |
• |---------|----------------|----------------|
• | Control | Centralized | Decentralized |
• | Examples| Web, Email | Torrents,
Blockchain |
• | Pros | Easy to manage | Fault-tolerant |
• | Cons | Server bottlenecks | Less secure |

9. Enhancing the Model
• - Load balancing for request distribution
• - Cloud services for scalability
• - Microservices for modular design
• - Caching and CDNs to reduce latency

10. Final Thoughts
• - Client-server model is foundational in
modern IT
• - Ensures structured communication
• - With evolving tech, it continues to scale and
adapt
