Computer Science and Technology: Guide to Distributed Database Management

摘要

Distributed Database Management Systems are exciting and potentially very powerful. However, distributed database management systems often have created increased complexity of database management and controls without providing the expected benefit to the organization's operations. Distributed database management systems may not be desirable for every organization. Their benefits can be realized only with careful planning, and evaluation of alternative strategies. The guide provides an organization's decision makers the appropriate information to make good decisions in evaluating distributed database management technology for their individual environments. Also, the guide aids in planning for an orderly migration path into a distributed database environment.
