Client Server Architecture

Client-server architecture is a network architecture model that divides computing tasks


into two separate but interconnected components: the client and the server.

Communication between clients and servers is usually achieved through a network, such as the
internet or an intranet.

CLIENT :

May be software application or device.


 Clients are typically end user devices like laptops, Smartphone or software application.
 Clients send requests to the server for specific resources, data, or services.
 Clients are responsible for presenting the user interface, processing user input, and
initiating requests to servers.

Server :

 The server is a powerful computer or software application that provides services or


resources to clients.
 Servers are designed to be more robust and have higher processing capabilities than
clients.
 Servers are responsible for processing requests,managing resources, and providing the
requested services,

Types of Client Server Architectures :-

 1 Tier Architecture
 2 tier architecture
 3 tier architecture

I-tier architecture :-
 In a 1-tier architecture, also known as a monolithic clear architecture, there is no
 separation between the client, server, and data layers.
 In I-Tier Architecture, everything related to the application is grouped and used as a
single package to deliver the application.
 This approach is typically used for small applications or prototypes where simplicity and
ease of development take precedence over scalability and maintainability.
 A I-tier architecture offers various services that make it a reliable source, but it is
complex to manage. The data variance is the primary problem.
 These systems keep their data in a shared driver or a local file. The MS Office files are
example of I-tier apps.

2 Tier Architecture

 The whole application logic is divided into 2 layers. At server side, database acts
as a separate entity in this architecture.
 In comparison to 1-tier architectures, 2-tier architectures are faster since there is_no
 intermediary between the client and the server. The 2-tier architecture helps avoid
client confusion.
 A two-tier architecture is suitable for small to moderately complex applications
where simplicity and quick development are essential.
 However, for larger and more scalable applications, a three-tier or multi-tier
architecture might be more appropriate.
 The online reservation system is a popular example of a 2-tier architecture.
