Question

Which of the following is an example of a distributed system architecture?

A) file server computing, thin client computing, network-based computing

B) client/server computing, fat client computing, network-based computing

C) Internet-based computing, application computing, transaction computing

D) file server computing, client/server computing and Internet-based computing

E) none of the above

A) file server computing, thin client computing, network-based computing

B) client/server computing, fat client computing, network-based computing

C) Internet-based computing, application computing, transaction computing

D) file server computing, client/server computing and Internet-based computing

E) none of the above

In a Distributed System, software and hardware components will be located at remote

computers which are in a network and we can communicate only through Message passing.

Main Motive of Distributed System is Resource Sharing.

Here Resources will be located at servers and clients present at different locations

will share the Resources of the servers.

Hence in the above question any computing that accomplish the above mentioned points

will come under Distributed System architecture.

By applying the above points to the options given the

most appropriate option is D.

Here all the computings

1) file server computing (file will be in the server and that is the resource shared by all the clients)

2) client/server computing (the architecture itself a Distributed System architecture)

3) Internet-based computing (server is the ISP and internet services will be shared by all the clients)

require Distributed System architecture.
