INTRODUCTION
The following document will contextualize the terms and history of distributed systems.
for your better understanding.
Distributed systems are collections of physically separated computers where they are
connected by a communication network, each computer has its own components of
hardware and software where the programmer sees it as a system.
Distributed Computing refers to any event in which a system is managed in
a network of computers and tries to describe the trends towards distributed functionality:
distributed systems, distributed processing, distributed databases and any other
distributed computational term. We can then say that Computing
Distributed refers to the services provided by a Distributed Computing System. One of
The first characterizations of a Distributed System were made by Enslow, as early as 1978.
HISTORY OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Distributed systems are collections of physically separated computers where they are
connected by a communications network, each computer has its own components of
hardware and software where the programmer sees it as a system. (colouris 1964)
When we talk about the development of distributed systems, it comes along with local networks.
high speed in the early 1970s. This has resulted in a greater shift towards the
distributed systems in the availability of personal computers workstations and
computers or servers.
The trend of using distributed systems has accelerated due to the development of software for
the systems themselves, designed to support software development for applications
distributed with the functions of coordinating activities and sharing system resources
hardware, software, and data.
The implementation of these systems involves various hardware platforms, from a
small local area network workgroup up to the internet, where the local area network connection
and extensive areas are interconnected and link millions of devices.
When we talk about capacity, we take into account that distributed systems vary from
computing capacity to groups of users, almost all systems including banking are covered
the commercial and technical applications of the equipment
CLIENT SERVER STRATEGY
Once these concepts are understood, we observe the implemented architecture of a system.
distributed like client-server. The client-server is a software design model in
the tasks are distributed among the suppliers, resources, or services called servers and the
clients.
A client makes requests to another program, the server, which responds to it.
Advantages:
One of the advantages of distributed systems is cost-effectiveness, as it is much cheaper,
add servers and clients when it is necessary to increase processing power.
Joint work. For example: in an assembly factory, the robots have their
Different CPUs perform actions together, directed by a distributed system.
They have a greater reliability. As the workload is distributed among many
If one of the machines fails, it does not affect the others; the system survives as a whole.
Disadvantages:
The main problem is the software, it is the design, implementation, and use of the software.
distributed, as it presents numerous inconveniences where questions arise such as:
What type of OS, programming language, and applications are suitable for this system?
Conclusions:
Distributed systems encompass a considerable number of aspects, which is why their
development involves a lot of complexity.
It is also noticeable that many technologies are in constant development and maturation, which
which involves a meticulous prior study of many factors before betting on any
technology in particular.
