Introduction • Centralized approach to processing data • Users access a central computer through personal computers (PCs) and workstations • Dominated organizations from the late 1960s through the mid- 1980s • Networks connected these computers • Organizations often off-load, or shift, data communications functions from central computers to smaller computers to improve processing speed • Often use client/server systems to off-load database access functions from central computers to other computers Starks/Pratt/Last, Concepts of DB Management, 9th Edition. © 2019 Cengage.
