What is the full form of SBC?

The full form of SBC is Server Based Computing.  In SBC, the client just provides input and displays output because the server executes all processing. The client might be a dumb terminal or a personal computer (also known as a thin or fat client). The server acts as the core of  data storage, processing, and execution center for all application software.

The client only requires a network connection and an interface to connect to the server. SBC is known by several names than mainframe computing and central processing. Every user's virtual machine (VM) is located on the server in this distributed computing strategy.

History of SBC 

SBC originally consisted solely of keyboards and displays linked to a central computer or mainframe. Individual workstations grew increasingly competent and standalone personal computers (PCs) gained computational power in the 1980s and 1990s, allowing for more work to be done at each workstation. Work was divided via organizations at each workstation, and the central computer became less crucial.

As technology advanced in the mid 1990s to the 2000s, it became evident that some form of central computer would be useful.

 As of 2011, SBC has been utilized in a variety of cutting-edge technologies, many of which are Internet-based. Server-based online games, cloud computing, worldwide distributed computing, grid computing, and numerous others are examples.
