Client-Server Architecture Guide

The document discusses client-server architecture, which allows client computers to request resources from server computers. It identifies the key components as clients, servers, networks, and communication protocols. Advantages include scalability and centralized data management, while disadvantages include single points of failure and network dependency. Different architecture types are examined, including two-tier with a single client-server layer, and three-tier and N-tier architectures which divide applications into multiple presentation, application, and data layers for improved modularity and scalability. Client-server architecture is established as fundamental to distributed and efficient computing.

Introduction
to
Client-Server Architecture
Client-Server Architecture
Client-Server Architecture is a
computing model where a client
computer requests services or
resources from a server computer,
which then processes the request
and sends back the results to the
client computer, allowing for
distributed and efficient processing
of tasks.
3
Key Components of
Client-Server Architecture
The main components of
client-server architecture includes
• the Client,
• Server,
• Network,
• and Communication
Protocols.
4
Advantages and Disadvantages
ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:
• Scalability • Single Point of Failure
• Centralized Data Management. • Network Dependency
• Resource Sharing • Complexity
• Security • Cost
• Backup and Security • Latency
• Reliability • Scalability Challenges

5
Types Of
Client-Server Architecture
Two-Tier
Architecture
In two-tier architecture, the client
communicates directly with the
server, with the application logic
and data storage combined in a
single layer, making it simpler
but less scalable compared to
other architectures.
7
Three-Tier
Architecture
What is Three-Tier
Architecture?
Three-tier architecture is a
client-server architecture that divides
an application into three layers:
presentation layer, application layer,
and data layer, providing modularity, 8
N-Tier Architecture

In N-tier architecture, an application is divided into


multiple layers or tiers, each responsible for specific
functionality, providing scalability, flexibility, and
maintainability. 9
Summary:
The presentation explored Client-Server Architecture, a crucial framework in the digital realm.
It showcased its components – clients, servers, networks, and protocols – essential for efficient
task distribution. The discussion then transitioned to different architectural models. The Two-
Tier Architecture simplifies communication between clients and servers but sacrifices
scalability. The Three-Tier Architecture introduces layers for presentation, application, and data,
enhancing flexibility. The N-Tier Architecture takes this further, dividing applications into
multiple tiers for optimal scalability and maintainability. This exploration underscores Client-
Server Architecture's pivotal role in shaping our interconnected digital world. 10
