Client Server Model

The document explains the client-server model, which involves clients (service requesters) and servers (service providers) communicating over networks. It describes different types of clients (thick, thin, hybrid) and architectures (2-tier, 3-tier), along with the advantages and disadvantages of client-server networks. Key takeaways highlight the importance of this technology in networking and database management for efficient work processes.

CLIENT

SERVER
MODEL
What Is Client
 Clients are also referred to as service requester

 Thick Client-. It depends very less on the server.


 Thin Client- A thin client refers to a lightweight computer which
depends on the resources of the host computer to a great extent.
 Hybrid Client- A hybrid client is a combination of a thick client’s
and a thin client’s characteristics. It mostly depends on the server
for storing persistent data. It is capable of local processing
What Is Server

A server is a computer program or device that provides a


service to another computer program and its user, also
known as the client. In a data center, the physical computer
that a server program runs on is also frequently referred to
as a server
Client Server Model

 The client server model describe distributed computing


relationship between at least two independent computer ( a
client and server) which communicate through the internet or
local area network.
 There can be multiple client on each server

 Example of using he client/server include bank account


transaction
Client Server Network
 A client-server network refers to the medium that enables clients
to access resource and services from a central computer by using
either the LAN (Local Area Network) or the WAN (Wide Area
Network).
 The most popular network services are, e-mail, file sharing and
the World Wide Web.
Client Server Architecture

client-server architecture, architecture of a computer network in


which many clients request and receive service from a server .
Client computers provide an interface to allow a computer user to
request services of the server and to display the results the server
returns.
The two main architectures :

2- tier architecture
3- tier architecture
2-Tier Architecture

In a two-tier architecture, the client is on the first tier and


database server is on the second tier.
3-Tier Architecture
In a three-tier architecture, the client is on the first tier and
application server is on the second tier and database server
is on the third tier
Peer To Peer
Network
A peer to peer networks involves two or more computer that share
individual resources, including DVD players, printer. Each
computer in the network act as client as well as the server.
communicating with the other computer directly.
Advantages
Easy maintenance: New technology can be added easily through
the server. Server resources can be decreased or increased depending upon
the client request. If any server computer needs to take backup of its data
then control can be shifted to another server. The data backup can be taken
at a time when there are fewer requests to the server.

Dedicated server: A server can be either a file server, print server


or database server.

Backup and recovery: Taking backup of data and recovering data


is easy.

Accessibility: A server can be accessed remotely through multiple


platforms.
Disadvantages
1. Traffic Congestion:- The primary disadvantage of client server network is
the traffic congestion it undergoes. If too many clients make request from the same
server, it will result in crashes or slowing down of the connection. An overloaded
server creates many problems in accessing information .

2. Cost:- the cost involved in setting up and maintaining the server is usually high
in client server network as it does on the network operations.

3. Maintenance:- When the servers are implemented, it is going to work non-


stop. Which means it must be given proper attention. If there are any problems, it
must be resolved immediately without any delay.

4. Resources:- Not all the resources that is present on the


server is acquirable. For an example, it is not possible to print
a document on the web directly or edit any information on the
client hard disk drive.
Key Takeaways

In conclusion, the client-server system encompasses


different areas both in networking and database
management due to its structural functionalities, it is
essential to know that the advent of the technology is a
breakthrough in the IT world and also in the business
world because without the application of this
technology, work process would be difficult to execute
and might take longer time
