Detailed explanation-1: -In the fat-client model, the client encapsulates presentation and most of the application logic, and the server is principally responsible for the data storage and maintenance. Presentation, application logic, and data maintenance can be seen as conceptual layers, which are more appropriately called tiers.
Detailed explanation-2: -In client/server networks, users store their files on a central computer from which files are accessed directly. In the client/server network, the server is the central computer that stores the information, and the client is the computer (and user) that accesses the information from that central computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The client makes a request for a service, and a server performs that service. Server functions often require some resource management, in which a server synchronizes and manages access to the resource, and responds to client requests with either data or status information.
Detailed explanation-4: -While data access logic and data storage reside on the server side, presentation and application logic reside on the client side. In practice, the application logic is often split between the client and server, although it predominantly resides on the client.
