Centralized processing is the type of processing where processing is controlled through a central terminal server(s),
which centrally provides the processing, programs and storage while in distributed processing
refers to the type of processing where computers in various geographical locations are
interconnected via communication links for the purpose of local processing and data access and/or transfer.
In distributed processing data processing occurs on each of the computers,
unlike a centralizes processing system in which terminals are connected to
host computer that perform all of the data processing.
