Performance improvement of distributed database management systems

Research output: Book chapterConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Distributed databases offer a complete range of desirable features: availability, reliability, and responsiveness. However, all of these benefits are at the expense of some extra management; main issues considered in literature as the base of a tuned distributed database system could be data replication and synchronization, concurrency access, distributed query optimization or performance improvement. Work presented here tries to provide some clues to the last point considering an issue which has not been taken enough into account under our humble opinion: load balancing of these distributed systems. It is tried to be shown how the right load balancing policy influences the performance of a distributed database management system, and more concretely a shared-nothing one.
