HRM 3450 Chapter 5 Notes – Summary
Introduction
• From the description and the figure you can see that the Web browser–Web server
application described as an example fits the description of a client-server application.
• We will return to this example momentarily.
• A typical use of the client-server concept within an organization is shown
• In this case, a number of clients are sharing a number of servers, showing both the
shared server nature of client-server computing, as well as to show that there may be
multiple servers offering different services on the same network.
• Notice, also, that the server computer labeled S2 in the figure is running two different
server applications.
• Since computers are capable of running multiple tasks concurrently, this is a possible
scenario.
• The only limitations to running multiple applications on a single server are the potential
slowdowns that may result from the load on the server computer and the traffic on the
network to that server.
• Overall, there is a multiple-multiple relationship between clients and servers
• A server can serve multiple clients, and a client can request services from multiple
servers.
• The use of client-server processing as a basis for IT system architecture has a number of
advantages
• Providing services on a single computer or on a small number of computers in a central
location makes the resources and services easy to locate and available to everyone who
needs them
• Also allows the IT administrators to protect the resources and control and manage their
use.
• The consistency of files and data can be managed and assured.
