keskserveripõhiste

Keskserveripõhine refers to a system or application that relies on a central server for its operations. In such a setup, data processing, storage, and management are primarily handled by this central server, while individual client devices or workstations connect to it to access resources and functionalities. This architecture is common in various computing environments, including client-server networks and cloud computing.

The core principle of a keskserveripõhine system is the distribution of workload. The central server often possesses greater processing power and storage capacity than individual clients, allowing for efficient handling of large datasets and complex computations. Clients, in turn, are typically lighter-weight and focus on user interface and interaction, communicating their requests to the server and displaying the results it provides.

Advantages of a keskserveripõhine approach include centralized data management, which simplifies backups and updates, and enhanced security as sensitive information can be stored and protected on the server. It also facilitates easier collaboration among users, as they can access shared resources from the central server. However, this model can also lead to a single point of failure if the central server experiences an outage, and performance can be affected by network latency and server load. Examples include traditional database systems, web applications, and many enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.
