Topic:
Suppose
you are a database designer in a multinational company. The company has
different departments such as Production, finance, and Sales etc.
The
database design must meet the following characteristics:
·
The data must be shared in different departments
·
The data integrity of the database must maximum
·
The data redundancy must minimum
·
The database may be transparent
·
The data management, modification, and backup must be easier
Keeping
the above points, which type of database would you suggest from the following:
1. Distributed database
2. Centralized database
In either case, justify your answer with valid
reasons.
Solution
I
will suggest the Centralized database type in accordance with the given set of
characteristics or advantages. To justify my suggestion/answer I would like to
share the following reasons:
1. A single point approach
is applied to store the data.
2. It
is cost-effective meaning cheaper
3. The
data integrity will lead to the
improvement in the decision-making process.
4. The design of the centralized database is simple.
5. Saving a lot of time
while analyzing the overall performance of the organization basis on the
reports which provide fast and easy access.
6. Managing A centralized database is simple as it is controlled from one location.
7.
The functions like modifications, the need for backup and recovery are the silent features
of it.
8. It
provides a high level of data consistency.
9. Reliability
enhances due to minimizing redundancy.
10. It
helps to minimize your security risks
both in physical form (laptops, notebooks can be lost or stolen) and in
encrypted form-meaning that uses firewalls, rigorous password protection etc
