"Client-Server Architecture" is, in short, a mechanism by which a centralised resource or
"server", attends to the needs of a number of end users, or "clients".
In real-word terms this is often a database or similar application, accessed by multiple users within an office - or a piece of control and/or monitoring software used within a factory environment.

About Client-Server ArchitectureThe key to successful design and commissioning of such systems is to understand where the potential pitfalls are, and the potential loading on the system. What happens if two users wish to update a customer record at the same time? Can the system cope when every user logs on simultaneously at 9:00 in the morning? If a central server breaks down, how does this affect production?
By examining carefully the way in which any new system will integrate with existing systems, and
by understanding which aspects of the business really are "mission critical" we can ensure
that back up systems are in place where you need them, and not where you don't need them!
