architecture is similar to/ different from cloud computing.​

Answer 1

Answer

Client-server architecture, architecture of a computer network in which many clients (remote processors) request and receive service from a centralized server (host computer). Client computers provide an interface to allow a computer user to request services of the server and to display the results the server returns.

Whereas cloud access usually occurs without the need for manual user-provided credentials, after the user has logged on to the computer, or other devices, utilizing locally-saved credentials. Both of them provide storage of the user computer for necessary files.
