Distributed systems offer numerous benefits such as scalability and fault tolerance but also present challenges like complexity and data consistency. This article explores both the advantages and disadvantages of distributed systems, providing insights into their impact on modern computing environments. By geeksforgeeks.org.
Distributed Systems are a class of computing systems where components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. These systems aim to achieve a common goal, often functioning as a single coherent system despite being physically distributed.
Some advantages mentioned in the article:
- Scalability
- Fault tolerance and reliability
- Resource sharing …
And example of disadvantages:
- Complexity
- Network dependency
- Data consistency challenges …
Distributed systems offer compelling advantages, including scalability, fault tolerance, and enhanced performance, making them ideal for handling large-scale, dynamic applications. They facilitate resource sharing, global accessibility, and flexibility. However, these benefits come with challenges such as increased complexity, network dependency, and data consistency issues.
