Centralized computing is where the terminals are attached to a central computer that controls all the peripherals. It offers greater security over other systems 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.
