Article THE
I am writing an article and in many places I am confused about using THE with the words client and server. We don't mean a specific server or client.
for example:
To minimize data transfer, clustering can be performed on (THE) server-side and send only the summary information of the clusters to (THE) client.
One more question in this sentence: is the use of the verb SEND confusing for the reader?

You need "the" in both cases. The verb "send" is OK in itself, but the sentence structure as a whole is faulty because there is no subject for "send" (I assume it is not intended to be "clustering"). I would write "on the server side" (without hyphen), or simply "on the server".

I would write "on the server side" (without hyphen), or simply "on the server". I would reserve the hyphen for cases when "server-side" modifies a noun, e.g. "server-side scripting".

Thanks.
Actually the subject for "send" is Server.
Originally, I wrote like this. But I felt that it is not nice.
To minimize data transfer, clustering can be performed on the server-side and only the summary information of the clusters is sent to the client.
