Distributed Data Storage

Distributed data storage is a system where data is stored across multiple servers or locations instead of a single device. This setup improves reliability, speed, and scalability because if one server fails, others can still serve the data. It also allows for handling larger amounts of data efficiently. Think of it like a library with books spread across multiple branches; you access what you need from any location, making the system resilient and flexible. This approach is common in cloud storage services, enabling users to securely store and retrieve their information from anywhere.
