The server/client API in iMSTK is based on the VRPN API, you can read more

The interest of the separated client & server is that is is easy to set up
a server on a different machine than your application (client) is.

HDAPIDeviceClient is just a wrapper for the HD library which does not have
the same infrastructure and does not require you to manually run a server
independent from the client, as far as I understand.
