In the centralized environment, the application presentation component runs on the client
with the application business logic and the database management software running on a
server system, competing for server resources. In a distributed environment with 3-tier
topologies, a database is on the third tier (the database server) and one or more
application servers comprise the second tier. Client systems are the first tier in either
arrangement.
Distributed environments can support several times the number of active users over a
centralized system, depending upon the power of the chosen servers. Clearly, the
distributed environment requires more hardware but the scalability in terms of the number
of users supported or the potential transaction throughput offsets the complexity and the
cost.
