Topic: Server (computing)


  
 Client-server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Server software generally, but not always, runs on powerful computers dedicated for exclusive use to running the business application.
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 computer-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 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.

 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.

 Server Computing and the Network Edge
A number of approaches making headlines today -- mesh computing, peer-to-peer computing, autonomic (self-healing) computing, and grid computing -- are part and parcel of the edge computing concept.
Edge computing, as the name implies, involves pushing data and computing power away from a centralized point to the logical extremes of a network.
Edge computing comes in many shapes and flavors, and the view on the edge differs depending the customer.

 The Evolution of Client/Server Computing
This technology is a computing architecture that forms a composite system allowing distributed computation, analysis, and presentation between PCs and one or more larger computers on a network.
The improved capacity of personal computers were largely ignored or used on an individual level.
Over the years, personal computers started to replace these dumb terminals but the processing continued to be done on the mainframe.

 Client/Server Frequently Asked Questions
In database servers, clients passes SQL (Structured Query Language) requests as messages to the server and the results of the query are returned over the network.
Workstations support the presentation and function logic and interface with the data server through the data manipulation language.Distributed data management is an extension of remote data management and uses the distributed facilities of the DBMS to access distributed data in a manner transparent to users.
The logical extension of this is to have clients and servers running on the appropriate hardware and software platforms for their functions.

 Client/Server Software Architectures--An Overview
The difference between TP monitor technology and message server is that the message server architecture focuses on intelligent messages, whereas the TP Monitor environment has the intelligence in the monitor, and treats transactions as dumb data packets.
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.
