Client/Server Network

in some networks, one or more computers function as a server. A server controls access to hardware, software and other resources on the network. the other computers on the network are called clients or workstations, Computers on the network rely on the server for its resources. servers are generally more reliable, more powerfule and have more storage space than clients. Completmentary metal-oxide semiconductor ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode is a programmable electronic machine. it responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner that's stored in its memory. it accepts data, manipulates it, then produces results, or output, and stores it for future use. software is a program that uses a series of instructions to operate computers and related devices. Software generally exists on storage devices such as CDs or DVDs which are generally sold in boxes with manuals.
