Its popularity is high compared to other software because it offers a more versatile structure. Alternatives to client-server architecture: Mainframe architectures and file sharing systems are alternatives to client-server architecture. Assistive technologies: Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools help in the development of client-server and open system architecture. Advantages of client-server architecture: Enhanced data sharing: Data is stored on the database server. All authorized users can have access to this data. That is, data is stored and managed centrally, making data sharing easier.
