Distributed Database Management Systems

A Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) is a collection of databases that are stored on different computers or locations but work together as a single system. This setup allows multiple users to access, manage, and share data efficiently across different sites. It improves reliability, performance, and scalability because data can be processed locally and synchronized across locations. Think of it like a team with members in different offices sharing and updating information seamlessly, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest data regardless of where they are.
