Question Question 7
Differentiate between a server and a client.
| Server | Client |
|---|---|
| A server is a computer that provides services or resources to other devices present in the network. | A client is a computer that requests and consumes services or resources from a server. |
| Server computers have multiple processors, large amounts of memory, redundant storage, and specialized server operating systems. | Clients are typically general-purpose devices with standard hardware configurations and general-purpose operating systems. |
| Servers are designed to handle multiple client requests simultaneously, managing resources and delivering high performance. | Clients are typically focused on user interfaces and user interactions. |
| Servers continuously listen for incoming client requests and respond to them. | Clients initiate communication with the server by sending requests to them over the network. They do not listen for incoming requests. |
