| | Client-server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clients get all or most of their information and rely on the application server for things such as configuration files, stock quotes, business application programs, or to offload compute-intensive application tasks back to the server in order to keep the client computer (and client computer user) free to perform other tasks. | | | A computer requiring a particular service will check with the trading service for the address of a computer providing such a service. | | | Client/Server is a scalable architecture, whereby each computer or process on the network is either a client or a server. |

| | Client/Server Computing Consider This |
| | The difference between client/server computing and the mainframe computing that it often supersedes is that the client is not a dumb terminal. | | | Overall client/server computing leads to a flexible and dynamic computing environment. | | | The client can be a personnel computer (PC) or the soon to be released network computer (NC.) The server can be anything from a mainframe to a PC but is usually a platform suited for a specific application or task. |

| | Client / Server Computing |
| | The server computes the results of the query. | | | In short, client/server computing provides a mechanism for disparate computers to cooperate on a single computing task. | | | The client/server model is a form of distributed computing where one program (the client) communicates with another program (the server) for the purpose of exchanging information. |

| | Thin Client and N-Tier Computing |
| | Client/server computing was also a shift in the processing load of computers in the enterprise. | | | In the traditional client/server computing model, most of the actual computing is done on the client PC. | | | Once the shift away from client/server computing began, the term "three-tier architecture" was used to differentiate the distributed, middle-tier approach from the traditional, "two-tier" approach. |

| | Network Computing - Solutions for the Connected Enterprise |
| | Back in the early days of computing, when processing power and memory was a precious resource that needed to be rationed across users, all computing was server-based, 'thin-client computing'. | | | Thin-client computing is known by other names - server-based computing, dumb terminals and so on. | | | Using a thin-client computing environment, the administrator has the capability of strictly enforcing the software environment that the user functions in. |

| | In the client-server computing environment, conversely, developers separate their applications into two components, a "front end" and a "back end," with the elements sharing the processing demands according to which is best suited for the task. | | | In understanding client-server computing, it thus helps to understand how the traditional computing environments - that is, the host/terminal and file-server/PC - process data and application files: They do so in a totally one-sided fashion. | | | As client-server computing systems have evolved, their creators have taken some parts from the centralized host world, and other parts from the decentralized PC environment. |

| | Thin (Client Computing, that is) Is In |
| | Today, the term thin client computing defines a network-based approach to information processing that is comprised of both hardware and software elements. | | | Thin client computing is an attractive solution for organizations looking to control costs and complexity. | | | Benefits of thin client computing include a reduced cost of ownership and increased flexibility for both the user and the enterprise. |

| | What is Thin Client Computing ? |
| | In summary, Thin Client Computing is the next generation of computing. | | | The sole purpose of the computer was to calculate according to the set of instructions and data it was given. | | | Due the high cost and complexity of early computer hardware, there was an inherent assumption that multiple users would share a single computer. |

| | Understanding Client/Server Architecture |
| | Client/server computing is really much more than a simple separation of a user's PC from a server computer. | | | Even so, most folks still associate the term client with the physical computers they are using and the term server with some other physical computer to which they are connected. | | | For example, if the program needs to list all clients with the last name of Smith, all the information (indexes and data records) needed to resolve that query to the database must be transferred over the network. |

| | Thin Client Computing |
| | Thin client is a growing technology because it promises to bring some sanity back to the cost of computing. | | | Java would provide a modern, colorful, windowing user interface at the workstations, and the workstations would have their own computing power for good performance, but all the software would live back on the central server where it could be easily and inexpensively maintained. | | | The concept of deploying Java programs to simple network attached computers, (NCs) running software from a central server was developed. |

| | Client/Server Software Architectures--An Overview |
| | With mainframe software architectures all intelligence is within the central host computer. | | | The term client/server was first used in the 1980s in reference to personal computers (PCs) on a network. | | | The two tier client/server architecture is a good solution for distributed computing when work groups are defined as a dozen to 100 people interacting on a LAN simultaneously. |

| | Client/Server Computing (Linktionary term) |
| | Client/server computing is a result of trends in the 1980s to populate desktops with powerful computers that were connected via LANs to back-end database servers or application servers. | | | Client/server computing defines an architecture in which program logic is distributed between client systems and server systems. | | | Interestingly, the old centralized model was resurrected in the form of the thin client, in which applications run on back-end megaservers, not on desktop computers. |

| | Thin Client Computing |
| | When the Network Computer was touted as a viable alternative to the PC by the computing media, the author developed an interest in client server, intranet technologies and the advantages and disadvantages that this new paradigm in computing could offer. | | | Computer speed was the least important reason with only 11% stating it as the reason for choosing a computer lab. | | | An example of this is that to install a piece of software for a computer lab based on the RM Connect software, a machine would be built and a snapshot of all settings would be taken. |
