RPM uses a SQL database you can access directly over your network. This is handy for peer to peer and file server networks and is very stable and secure. But, sometimes you want more.

Client/Server isolates your data from direct access. Individual workstations submit their requests to your server, which in turn accesses your data. This means those workstations never directly touch the data itself. There are 2 distinct advantages to this scenario:

Your data is immune to network errors.

Your data is secured against theft or tampering.

In addition, Client/Server supports additional features including the above Info Tray, timed scripts and backups and more.
