In client server network relationship two types of computer system present that are clients and servers. Server is a more powerful computer system whose configuration is high than client. Client is a normal computer system or having low power than servers.
The server contains data, information, and all resources. All the clients are connected to the server. The communication in between client and server is in the form of request and response scenario. Whenever a client need resources (information, data, or any other resource), client simply sends request to the server. server takes these request process and respond the client with required services (acknowledgment).
The job of server is provide service to the requesting clients. And job of the client is to request server whenever it requires resources or service. Here client is a requester or service user and Server is the service provider.
In client server network all the data is stored on server and all the resources are located at server. In this type of network we need a special operating system on server for managing all clients, this operating system is called as server operating system or Network Operating System (NOS). The client needs just a client operating system.
The client server network is the one in which centralized processing. Security is high in client server network because all the resources and data is stored on the centralized node (i.e. server). Client server network is easy to manage because all the management of software is done at server.
It is easy to take backup in client server network relationship.
