Parallel Database Architecture in DBMS – Advantages & Disadvantages Jitendra Ajmera The Crazy Programmer
In this kind of architecture multiple processors, memory drives, and storage disks are associated to collaborate with each other and work as a single unit. In this type of database system , the hardware profile is designed to fulfill all the requirements of the database and user transactions to speed up the process. The arrangement of hardware is done in a parallel way to enhance input/ output speed and processing. This database system is used where we need to handle extremely large amounts of data. The size of data is not fixed and increasing rapidly. In this condition when the upcoming data amount is unpredictable, the fixed hardware profile sometimes goes to failure. To prevent this the hardware is arranged in such a manner that it can handle any amount of data flow. In this section four things are main to consider in hardware profile as per given below: Processor Memory Storage disk Communication bus As per the arrangement parallel database system can be further classif
