Client Server Architecture

A design model for applications running on a network, in which the bulk of the back-end processing, such as performing a physical search of a databased, takes place on a server.  The front-end processing, which involves communication with the user, is handled by smaller programs distributed to the client workstations. The client/server processing concept is an extension of shared device processing.  A number of operation systems support TCP/IP protocol.  These include Netware Windows NT and Windows 2000.
