Match the appropriate systems configuration with each description provided below.

Question $2$ options:

Provides a central, secure location to which all systems connect. All business processing and storage occurs at this one location.

Most complex and expensive. Fastest access and processing speed, with real$-$time capabilities. Incremental growth and system scalability are possible.

All users and systems are connected across the network, with no central location. Data is communicated across the entire network.

Easiest to set up$,$ with consistent processing, ease of access, and lowest cost. More frequent bottlenecks and possible increased lag time.

One site failure does not disrupt the entire system. Mid$-$range in terms of cost and complexity.

Provides multiple central locations$/$access points for users, each of which maintains a copy of necessary data. However, not all users are connected to all access points.
