Clients accessing data on a server
This is a client/server-based application that allows clients to access and process data stored on the server as if it were on their own computer.

You think that The Lord of the Rings movies are geeky? The BBC's Internet division (BBCi) will see your Twin Towers and raise you a Matrix.
