Key Takeaways Distributed storage systems benefit organizations by enhancing data availability, fault tolerance, and system scalability, leading to cost savings from reduced hardware needs, energy consumption, and personnel. Variations within these storage systems are called distributed file systems.

Web developers or administrators did not have to worry or even consider the complexity of distributed systems of today. Do you have a database? Great, your system was ready to be deployed. Once the system was deployed, to ensure everything was running smoothly, it only took a couple of simple checks to verify.

Google was among the pioneers that created “web scale” architectures to analyze the massive data sets that resulted from “crawling” the web that gave birth to Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, and NoSQL databases. Are there inherent time relationships in the messages that need to be preserved as they travel across the system? At least once?

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability.
