It can be a variety of things depending on the nature of what is to be accomplished. One widespread and early use of that architecture was in companies where the server managed a database (e.g., inventory levels, financial information, customer lists) and clients in various departments requested and updated that central data. The server took care of sending requested data to the clients and of updating the database based on submissions from the clients. Here is more information that discusses other types of use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client–server_model
