Your customer wants to develop a system for stock information where dealers can access information about companies and evaluate various investment scenarios using a simulation system. Each dealer uses this simulation in a different way, according to his or her experience and the type of stocks in question. Suggest a client–server architecture for this system that shows where functionality is located. Justify the client–server system model that you have chosen.

What will be an ideal response?


In this case, I would chose a fat client model with company information located on
a central server (this is critical information and its important that it is consistent for
all dealers). Simulations would run on the dealer’s computer as these are used in
different ways depending on the individual dealers. A fat client architecture is
required because simulations require considerable processing and it would place an
unacceptable load on the server if several dealers started simulations at the same
time.
