klientaservera

Klientaservera is a fundamental computing concept that describes a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. This model is widely used in computer networking and information technology. The server is a program or device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called clients. In the klientaservera model, clients initiate communication sessions with servers, which await incoming requests. Common examples of klientaservera applications include web browsing, where a web browser (client) requests data from a web server, and email, where an email client retrieves messages from an email server.

The klientaservera architecture offers several advantages. It allows for centralized management of resources and data on the server, simplifying maintenance and security. Clients can be simpler and less powerful as the heavy processing is handled by the server. This model also enables scalability, as more clients can be added to a server without significant changes to the client software. However, it can also create a single point of failure if the server goes down, and network latency can impact performance. The interaction between client and server is typically governed by a set of communication protocols, such as HTTP for web services or SMTP for email.
