Architectural Design: System Structuring - 3
The client-server model:
- Distributed model which shows how data and processing is distributed across a range of processors
- Servers offer services to other sub-systems
- Clients call on the services offered by servers
- A network allows the clients to access the services offerd by servers
- No shared data model (each server must take responsibility for data management activities)
- Easy integration of new servers in the network
- Register of server names and services required
