What is client-server architecture?

Q.2 What is client-server architecture?

Solution  :- 

• Client-server architecture is a computing model where multiple client devices (such as computers, smartphones, or tablets) communicate with a central server to request and receive services or resources.
• This model is widely used in networking and distributed computing.

Components of Client-Server Architecture

1. Client – A device or application that requests services or resources from a server.
2. Server – A system that processes client requests and provides the required data or services.
3. Network – The communication channel (such as the internet or a local network) that connects clients and servers.

How It Works

1. The client sends a request to the server for data or services.
2. The server processes the request and retrieves or generates the required information.
3. The server sends a response back to the client.

Examples of Client-Server Architecture

• Web Browsing – A web browser (client) requests a webpage from a web server.
• Email Services – An email client connects to a mail server to send or receive emails.
• Online Banking – Users interact with a banking server to check balances or transfer money.
