Introduction
Computer networks are ubiquitous, encompassing the Internet and its many constituent networks, as well as mobile phone networks, corporate networks, factory networks, campus networks, home networks, and in-car networks. Each of these, individually and collectively, exhibit the core characteristics that qualify them as distributed systems.
Distributed systems enable resource sharing, fault tolerance, and scalability, allowing for efficient and resilient operations across various applications. This desertion We will explore topics such as failure models, providing an overview in distributed systems.
Problem Statement
- Traditional IT(Information Technology) systems have long faced significant challenges due to their centralized nature, leading to substantial security and data management issues.
- These systems are particularly vulnerable to single points of failure, which can cause widespread disruptions.
- Furthermore, monolithic systems struggle to scale and maintain performance as user demands increase, and they often encounter logistical challenges in deployment and maintenance.
- Additionally, the complexity involved in communication between distributed system components hinders overall efficiency, while ensuring quality assurance becomes increasingly difficult.
- Moreover, traditional systems provide limited options for customization and flexibility, constraining organizations in adapting to evolving technological landscapes.
These compounded issues underscore the critical need for reevaluating traditional IT
architectures to address security, scalability, communication inefficiencies, logistical
challenges, quality assurance, and flexibility.

- Case Study on Google Search Engine: Use the Google search engine as a case study to illustrate the theoretical foundations, architectural principles and practical applications of distributed systems.
- Development of a Business Plan: develop a comprehensive business plan for the SUFRAH which is a startup in food delivery field , This will include identifying target market segments, assessing competitive intensity, devising strategic plans for product positioning, promotion, and sales tactics, detailing production processes and workforce planning, establishing key partnerships, conducting thorough financial analysis, managing cash flow meticulously, ensuring operational efficiency through optimal resource allocation, and performing rigorous risk assessment to mitigate potential threats.
Methodology Overview
This study adopts an innovative approach by leveraging the latest advancements in distributed systems technology, drawing inspiration from industry leaders such as Google. The methodology is structured into two primary phases: The development of the business plan and the theoretical aspect of networking in distributed system.
Relevance and Application
The relevance of these architectures extends to wireless communications and mobile phones, where they support the development of applications capable of efficient communication over wireless networks. In particular, this study focuses on the application of these technologies to the SUFRAH food delivery application. By distributing data, improving performance, enabling scalability, and streamlining communication, SUFRAH can provide efficient, secure, and high-performance food delivery services.
