1) ABC Inc. is a big manufacturing organization based in the USA. It has multiple branches in different states in the USA. All servers and workstations of each branch are connected through LANs, and all branches are connected through WAN. A specific operating system is used for most official workstations and servers. The organization maintains an official website for employees and other outside people, including vendors. Should ABC Inc.'s entire system be developed as a distributed system, or a non-distributed system will be more suitable for this kind of organization? Justify your answer based on the goals of distributed systems and the different traits of distributed systems.

2) A centralized system consists of a server and multiple clients. This type of system provides centralized services to its client, stores data in a centralized location, and uses a centralized algorithm to find the route for data transmission.

a) Do you think these centralized operations create problems for these systems? If yes, discuss the issues with respect to the centralized services, common database, and centralized routing algorithm.

b) How these three issues can be resolved using decentralized systems? Explain them individually.
