Line 2:
'''Centralized computing''' is where the [[terminal]]s are attached to a central computer that controls all the [[peripheral]]s. It offers greater [[security]] over other [[system]]s because all of the [[processing]] is controlled in a central ___location. This type of [[arrangement]] does have some disadvantages. The central computer performs the computing functions and controls the remote terminals. This type of system relies totally on the central computer. Should there be a [[failure]] of the central computer, the entire system is down.
== Hybrid model ==
Some organisations use a hybrid model halfway between centralized computing and conventional desktop computing, in which some applications (such as web browsers) are run locally, while other applications (such as critical business systems) are run on the [[terminal server]].
