Compare and contrast server based architectures client based architectures and client server based architectures

The essential similarity between the server-based architecture, client-based architecture and client-server-based architecture is that they all involve client who is the end user that interacts directly with the client system that requests for a process which, may be processed by the server or the client. All the architectures also involve a server which, is a system that is responsible for managing access to centralize requests or process in a network. The significant difference is that the server-based architecture performs all the application functions. The client computers handle the application logic, presentation logic, and data access logic in the client-based architecture. In the client-server based architecture, the server manages the data storage and data access logic while the client is responsible for the presentation logic.
