isäntäperusteinen

Isäntäperusteinen refers to a concept in Finnish, roughly translating to "host-based." This term is often used in the context of computer systems and networking, describing a model where a central server or host performs most of the processing, storage, or management tasks for client devices. In contrast to client-based systems where intelligence and functionality are distributed among individual devices, an isäntäperusteinen system relies heavily on the capabilities of the host.

This approach can offer advantages such as centralized control, easier software updates, and potentially enhanced security as data and processing are managed in one location. However, it can also lead to increased reliance on the host's availability and performance, and potential bottlenecks if the host becomes overloaded. Examples of isäntäperusteinen models can be found in traditional mainframe computing, thin-client architectures, and certain cloud computing services where the server provides the primary computing environment. The term emphasizes the role of the primary machine as the core of the operation.
