👉 CDS, or Common Data Service, is a standard protocol and architecture developed by IBM for distributed computing environments, particularly in mainframe systems. It enables the sharing of data and resources across multiple computers or nodes, facilitating collaborative computing tasks. CDS provides a framework for message passing and remote procedure calls (RPC), allowing applications running on different nodes to communicate and exchange data efficiently. By abstracting the complexities of network communication, CDS simplifies the development of distributed applications, making it easier to build scalable and resilient systems. It supports various data formats and protocols, ensuring interoperability among diverse computing platforms and enhancing the flexibility of enterprise IT infrastructures.
