Abstract
The current computing environment is largely distributed—computers are connected to Internet to form a worldwide distributed system. Organizations have geographically distributed and interconnected data centers, each with hundreds or thousands of computers connected with high-speed networks, forming mixture of distributed and parallel systems (Fig. 1.1). Within this environment, the amount of data that is captured has increased dramatically. Not all of this data is stored in database systems (in fact a small portion is) but there is a desire to provide some sort of data management capability on these widely distributed data. This is the scope of distributed and parallel database systems, which have moved from a small part of the worldwide computing environment a few decades ago to mainstream. In this chapter, we provide an overview of this technology, before we examine the details in subsequent chapters.
