centralised computin system

[terry81]

Is there anyway a centralised computing system is better than distributed system?

if the current system works fine w centralised system, do u think it is better to convert to distributed system for scalability in future?

Honestly, it really depends on the applications. A centralized system is more mobile, and easier to manage.

If your business needs to ensure 100% uptime, distributed systems are great (If one system goes down, you only lose a fraction of processing power - with a single server you have to set up a failsafe scenario for another server to take over until repairs can be made, which can sometimes be a bit of a hassle). Also, if your server is constantly under heavy stress, distributed systems will alleviate that problem, allowing information to be processed faster.

That is just a quick and simple comparison - there are a lot of variables to consider when choosing between single and distributed systems.
