Introduction to Distributed

DBMS architecture

This section provides an overview of the architecture of a Distributed Database


Management System (DBMS). A distributed DBMS is a collection of multiple,
logically interconnected databases distributed over a computer network. It allows
the distribution of data across multiple sites and provides access to data from a
single application. The architecture includes components such as multiple sites,
communication network, and a distributed DBMS that coordinates activities.
Understanding its architecture is vital for leveraging the benefits of a distributed
database environment.
