Optimal Database System Choice for Multinational Retail: Distributed Database

In a multinational retail company like ABC grappling with frequent updates across its
various locations, a distributed database system emerges as the preferred choice for
ensuring robust data integrity and consistency.
Advantages:
Less Network Traffic: Locally processed updates improve performance, which is
important for changing sales and stock levels.
Improvements in Fault Tolerance: Distributed systems are flexible, allowing other
locations to keep running even in the event of a problem at one.
Considering:
Data Synchronization: To overcome the difficulties of keeping consistent and current
information across locations, robust mechanisms are necessary.
Scalability: The distributed system supports expansion and new locations while
integrating perfectly with the multinational nature of the business.
Although a centralized database system offers a single source of truth, a distributed
system is more suited for a retail setting that needs quick and responsive inventory
management across multiple locations due to the possibility of network-related
performance concerns.
