Allocating Resources Through Decentralised Computing

Back in the early days of modern computing, it was common to follow a centralized system of allocating resources for the needs of the company. There was a common resource or tool that the entire organisation would use in order to deploy hardware, software, manpower and financing in order to get things done. Data flowed from one centre down to all the other nodes in the system.

With today’s advancements in technology and the increasing interconnectedness of resources around the world, it’s necessary to bring in a new way of allocating resources - something called decentralised computing.

Decentralised computing allows multiple processes to be performed on different nodes of the server system. Essentially, it allows you to get more things done in the same amount of time, using all the resources you have.

Measure twice, cut once

There are a variety of reasons why decentralised computing has become one of the face of modern IT architecture: it’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s far more efficient that centralized computing.

One of the main problems that came with centralised computing back then was there was a single point of failure: if something happened to the (mostly) single server that a business’s data was stored in, it would cause a catastrophic system crash likely erasing essential data. While there was only one primary server to handle all the incoming user requests, the exponential increase of users being familiar with computing contributed to an increasing probability of disaster.

Decentralised computing removes this restriction by splitting itself among servers and hardware, enabling an entire system of interconnected networks able to instantaneously answer any user requests required of it.
