Advantages

• In mainly cases, a client-server architecture facilitates the roles and tasks of a computing system to be distributed amongst several independent computers that are known to each other only throughout a network. This creates another advantage to this architecture: greater easiness of maintenance. For instance, it is probable to repair, replace, upgrade, or even reposition a server while its clients stay both unaffected and unaware by that change. This independence from modify is also referred to as encapsulation.
• every the data is stored on the servers, which usually have far superior security controls than most clients. Servers can improved control access and resources, to assurance that only those clients with the suitable permissions may change and access data.
• while data storage is centralized, updates to that data are remote easier to administer than what would be probable under a P2P model. Under a P2P architecture, data updates may require to be distributed and applied to every "peer" in the network, which is equally time-consuming and error-prone, as there can be thousands or yet millions of peers.
• a lot of mature client-server technologies are previously available which were designed to make sure security, 'friendliness' of the user interface, and effortlessness of use.
• It functions with numerous different clients of diverse capabilities.
