- With distributed network architecture a single central control system can be maintained, but the load can be distributed among several local sites. These sites can be physically separated from each other but connected via the internet. And, if one system fails, the others can continue to work without being affected.
- With a distributed system the load is shared among the different systems which makes networking quicker and more efficient.
- There is no loss of configuration if the central server experiences any problems because it is distributed among the secondary systems.
- However, the central system also has the advantage of being able to oversee all operations, make security changes, and view the status of the other sites.
- Updates and changes made on the central server can seamlessly be integrated with the whole distributed network without a problem.
