Client-Server:-
· Clients such as laptops and desktop computers
contact the server and request to use data or share its other resources with
it.so client works as a services requester & server works as a service
provider.
· A client-server network is a central computer, also
known as a server, which hosts data and other forms of resources.
·
A client-server network is
designed for end-users(laptop ,computer ,mobile), called clients,
to access resources such as files, songs, video collections, or some other
service from a central computer called a server.
Advantages of client-server network :-
- To using this setup is central management of the server. Only one server is used to host the resources that all the clients request and use. This is especially good for server administrators, because they only have to be in one place and can solve all the problems in one place, as well. Having to manually update several hundred servers would take much more time. One centrally managed server is the key to ease of management, and it is cost effective, too.
- using one physical server is that the configuration is simple to set up and takes less time to troubleshoot. For instance, if there were a site with multiple servers providing redundant services, and it was having issues, it could take an extreme amount of work to effectively troubleshoot why services are being hindered. In a single server role, all troubleshooting takes place at one physical server, so it takes much less time.
