15 Minute Series What is client/server computing?



In client/server computing, processes are divided between the client and the server. This relationship is based on a series of requests and responses.

*Client: Requests services or information from another computer (the server computer).

*Server: Responds to the client's request by sending the results of the request back to the client computer.
