Hi,

Oracle Client Software is a package of components such as SQLNet and ASO (Advanced Security Option). SQLNet is remote data access software that enables communication with Oracle databases in a distributed computing environment. Specifically, SQL*Net lets clients, such as Macintosh or Windows computers with database applications, communicate with servers containing Oracle databases.It also lets servers with Oracle databases communicate with other servers with Oracle databases.

Oracle Client Software is intended for applications that connect to Oracle databases.
