Distributed Systems Architecture

This document discusses different architectures for distributed systems, including their advantages and disadvantages. It covers client-server architectures, with two-tier and three-tier models. Distributed object architectures are described, where objects provide interfaces and services. Peer-to-peer architectures are also mentioned as decentralized systems where any node can perform computations.

Distributed Systems Architecture

Distributed systems architecture

Advantages

Resource Sharing Openness Concurrency Scalability Fault Tolerance Complexity Security Manageability Unpredictability

Disadvantages

Distributed systems architecture


Client-Server Distributed Objects

Client-Server architecture

Two-tier Architectures: server(s)/client(s)

Thin-Client model: Applications and heavy work resides on server(s). Client(s) serve as interface for the server(s) Fat-Client model: Most of the programming logic resides on the client(s) side. Server(s) handles data. Applet model: intermediate model

Client-Server architecture (cont.)

Three-tier Architectures: presentation / processing / data management

Example: Internet Banking Application


Presentation: Web browser (+ web server) Processing: Server side applications Data management: RDBMS

Distributed objects architecture

Objects that provide interfaces to a set of services that they provide. Objects can communicate with other objects to generate requests / provide services Object broker => middleware

Distributed objects architecture

Advantages:

No need to decide on locations for services, each object can work on any place Very open system architectures Flexible and scalable System can be reconfigured dynamically Systems are very difficult to design

Disadvantages:

P2P architecture

De-centralized systems Computations can be carried on by any node Service oriented system architectures
