Client Server

Client/server computing involves separating tasks between client and server machines. The client makes a request to the server, which processes the request and returns the results to the client. Common server types include file servers, data servers, compute servers, database servers, and communication servers. True client/server models separate presentation logic, application logic, and data management across client and server machines.

Client/Server Computing

Client Server Definition

 “ server software accepts requests


for data from client software and
returns the results to the client”

Where Operations are Done

In CS Relationship “most of the


application processing is done on a
computer (client side), which obtains
application services (such as
database services) from another
computer (server side) in a master
slave configuration.

Concept

 Client-server computing is distributed


access, not a distributed computing.
Categories of Servers

 File Server
 Data Server

 Compute Server

 Database Server

 Communication Server

 Video Server
File Server
 File Servers manage a work group’s application
and data files, so that they may be shared by the
group.
 Very I/O oriented
 Pull large amount of data off the storage
subsystem and pass the data over the network
 Requires many slots for network connections
and a large-capacity, fast hard disk subsystem.
Compute Server

 Performs Application logic processing


 Compute Servers requires
 processors with high performance capabilities
 large amounts of memory
 relatively low disk subsystems
 By separating data from the computation
processing, the compute server’s processing
capabilities can be optimized
Data Server
 Data-oriented; used only for data storage and
management Data
 Since a data server can serve more than one Server
compute server, compute-intensive applications
can be spread among multiple severs
 Does not prefer any application logic
processing Compute
 Performs processes such as data Server
validation, required as part of the data
management function.
 Requires fast processor, large amount of
memory and substantial Hard disk capacity.
Database Server

 Most typical use of technology in client-server


 Accepts requests for data, retrieves the data from its
database(or requests data from another node)and
passes the results back.
 Compute server with data server provides the same
functionality.
 The server requirement depends on the size of
database, speed with which the database must be
updated, number of users and type of network used.
Communication Server

 Provides gateway to other LANs,


networks & Computers
 E-mail Server & internet server
 Modest system requirements
 multiple slots
 fast processor to translate
networking protocols
