👉 Computing encompasses two fundamental paradigms: traditional computing and distributed computing. Traditional computing involves the use of centralized resources, such as a single computer or server, to process data and execute tasks, relying on a fixed set of hardware and software configurations. In contrast, distributed computing leverages multiple interconnected computers or nodes to share resources, distribute tasks, and process data collectively, enabling greater scalability, fault tolerance, and efficiency. This paradigm allows for the parallel processing of data across a network, enhancing performance and accommodating large-scale applications that require significant computational power or storage capacity.
