Centralized Vs Replicated Database Systems
Advantages of a centralized Database
Lower Capital Investment
In a centralized database model, the data computing is handled at a primary data center.
The given aspect reduces the daily operation costs of the firm, given that all activities are
instituted within a single location. Setting up a data center is capital intensive assessing from
infrastructure that is required. Additionally, the cost of operation is overwhelming when one
evaluates the bills and expenses that have to be incurred to maintain the center. When data is
handled by a single entity the firm will save its investment
Easier management
Coordinating of activities is an important factor in every department. Under a centralized
system, the computation tasks are handled by specific individuals and at primary center.
Inarguably the efficacy that manifests under a single management structure masks that of a
diverged unit such as in replicated databases. For instance; in the event of data corruption, or
mismanagement the faulty unit can be effectively identified and amended with ease.
Additionally, the firm will bear fewer workforce costs when managing the data from a single
unit. Given the specialization of employees in the sector, all duties will be effectively managed
since each member will be aware of one’s required role.

Disadvantages
Slow Processing
In a centralized database system, the data is handled by a specific number of people.
Given that the process of data entry and management is demanding, the primary department is
bound to be overwhelmed at a given moment. Ultimately, the slow process causes a breakdown
of the process. The given aspect will act as a bottleneck to the company’s operations since it will
lead to an ultimate breakdown of the database structure.
Completely Vulnerable to attacks
In a centralized Database, the responsibilities are coordinated and overseen by a
particular department. However when the department lags on its job, the consequences could be
detrimental to t...
