A client-server application is a distributed system that is split between the local user’s computer and a centralized powerful server.
This architecture is designed for the enterprise systems that most of the times reside within the internal network.
The main advantages of the client-server application are the scalability and high performance. Client-server applications are designed to store billions of records of information and to handle thousands of user requests incoming to the server at the same time. The user requests are processed at the server and only the relevant results are delivered back to the user, thus reducing the network traffic.
Another advantage of the client-server application is the ability to create rich user interface without impacting systems’ scalability and performance, because the client component of the application resides on the user’s local machine. This allows for a rich user interface without inhibiting server performance and storage space.
