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.
