Performance Analysis Of Three Database Server Distribution Algorithms, Christopher G. Brown

Culminating Projects in Information Assurance

Although the concept of the distributed database has been around for over 20 years, it has not dominated the computer landscape especially in business-related applications. This paper will explore the effectiveness of distributed database under a variety of conditions by conducting experiments using a number of different combinations of variables listed below. Specifically, the following questions will be researched:

1. How does the workload intensity influence the need and performance of distributed database applications?
2. How does the number of nodes the database is stored upon affect the data access time?
3. How does the method used to assign a given query to …
