Client Server PDF

In a client-server network, one central computer acts as a server that directs multiple other computers called clients. The clients can access shared files and information saved on the server. Examples include email, network printing, and the World Wide Web. A client-server network focuses on information sharing where the centralized server stores data, while clients do not share their own resources like computing power or storage. However, client-server networks are more expensive to implement and unreliable if the server fails.

7/6/2020 10 Difference Between Client-server And Peer-To-Peer Network - Viva Differences

Client-Server Network
A client server network is a specific type of online network comprised of a single central computer
acting as a server that directs multiple other computers, which are referred to as the clients. By
accessing the server, clients are then able to reach shared files and information saved on the serving
computer. Examples of computer applications that use the client-server model are Email, network
printing and the World Wide Web.

In a client-server model, whether a computer is a client, server or both, is determined by the nature
of the application that requires the service functions. For example, a single computer can run web
server and file server software at the same time to serve different data to clients making different
kinds of request. Client software can also communicate with server software within the same
computer.

7/6/2020 10 Difference Between Client-server And Peer-To-Peer Network - Viva Differences

1. Client-Server Network focuses on information sharing. Though the server can share its
resources with clients, clients do not share their resources such as computing power or hard drive
space with the network.
2. In Client-Server Network, centralized server is used to store the data. Centralized file storage
makes it easier to back up and protect data.
3. The client-server are expensive to implement. An additional computer is required to act as the
server and because of the extra computing power a server requires, a high-performance machine
is required.
4. In Client-Server Network, Clients and server are differentiated, specific server and clients are
present.
5. Client-Server Network is more stable and scalable.
6. In Client-Server Network, the client requests for service and server responds with a service
7. The Client-server network is very much secure when compared the Peer-to-Peer Network. This
is because the server can authenticate a client’s access to any part of the network.
8. The Client-server arrangement does not experience performance problems in case the number
of client increases. This is because the server does a lot of the heavy lifting and that the clients are
not required to share their computing power.
9. In Client-server Network, the clients depend on the server. Failure in the server will disrupt the
functioning of all clients. Therefore, it is unreliable.
10. In Client-server Network, multiple clients request for services from a server and therefore, the
access time for a service is higher.
