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.
