Compare between centralized and distributed database

 .

Centralized Database

A centralized database in which a single central Database accessed by multiple users. It's easier to organized data, edit query and also can backup easily. They are located on particular location. The controlling mechanism is also centralized and data are deposited in a central location. Files are kept on the base of the location of disk drives and names. It is only suitable for small organization and small scale operations. Advantage of centralized database that it is easy to maintain. Disadvantage is if the server is destroyed by some catastrophic damage like flood, fire whole data is lost.



Distributed Database

Distributed database is dispersed across many geographical locations. There are multiple database storing different types of file and they connected to each other. Its security is very much crucial part because it can be tapped or hacked in between the transmission. Advantage of distributed is the problem in one location will not affect entire  system. Disadvantage is it requires communication system and skilled man power to operate the system.

Define LAN and WAN

 . Local Area Network (LAN)  A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home.   LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile.  Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.  Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device.  Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s.  LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN :    The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network.  Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN :   Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high.  Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...
