Abstract

The Primary purpose of a computer network is to share resources. A computer network is referred to as client/server if (at least) one of the computers is used to server other computers referred to as client. Besides the computers, other types of devices can be part of the network. In the early days of networking, there will be a central server that contains the data and all the clients can access this data through a Network Interface card. Later on client server architecture came into existence, where there is still a burden on the server machine. To avoid the disadvantages in distributed computing was introduced which reduces the burden on the server by providing work sharing capabilities.

A computer network is referred to as client/server if (at least) one of the computers is used to server other computers referred to as client. Besides the computers, other types of devices can be part of the network. In the early days of networking, there was once a central server that contained the data and all the clients could access this data through a Network Interface card. Later on client server architecture came into existence, where there is still a burden there on the server machine. To avoid the disadvantages in distributed computing was introduced which reduces the burden on the server by providing work sharing capabilities.
