1, efficiency. Centralized network is usually more centralized and efficient in decision-making and resource allocation, because all communication and decision-making need to go through the central node, which helps to unify actions and decisions quickly. In the initial stage, distributed networks may need to communicate through central nodes, but with the development of the network, the communication between nodes becomes more direct and decentralized, which can improve the efficiency of the network, especially for those scenes that need a high degree of autonomy and decentralized decision-making.
2. Safety. Centralized network is more prone to single point of failure, because power and decision-making power are concentrated in the hands of a few nodes or individuals, but it is usually easier to carry out unified security management and resource protection. Decentralized network provides higher security, attack resistance and fault resistance by decentralizing decision-making power and resource allocation, because each node has the ability of self-protection and recovery.
3. cost. Centralized network usually involves more system maintenance, confidentiality and operating costs, and requires a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources. In contrast, distributed networks can significantly reduce these costs because of their distributed characteristics and collective maintenance characteristics.
4. innovative ability. Decentralized networks encourage innovation and autonomy, because nodes are equal and can interact and cooperate freely, which helps to stimulate new ideas and solutions.
5. On-site. Centralized network is suitable for occasions that need strong organizational strength, such as military, government, large enterprises and so on. Decentralized networks are suitable for occasions that require flexibility and innovation, such as open source communities and blockchains. To sum up, centralization and decentralization have their own advantages and applicable scenarios, and which mode to choose depends on specific needs and goals.
