Dear student,
Advantages of Distributed Systems over Centralized ones
1:Incremental growth:Computing power can be added in small
increments
2:Reliability:If one machine crashes, the system as a whole can
still survive
3:Speed:
A distributed system may have more total computing power than a
mainframe
4:Open system:
This is the most important point and themost characteristic point
of a distributed system.
Since it is an open system it is always ready to communicate with
other systems.
an open system that scales has an advantage over a perfectly closed
and self-contained system.
Economic:ANd Microprocessors offer a better price/performance than
mainframes.
