Distributed Network

A distributed network is a type of network structure where applications and data rely on multiple different sources. This type of network is often used in large organizations where different departments or locations need to share information. A distributed network can be either centralized or decentralized. In a centralized network, all of the data and applications are stored on a central server. This server can be located at the organization's headquarters or at a data center. In a decentralized network, each department or location has its own server. This type of network is often used in organizations that have multiple locations or that need to share data between different departments.
