What are the Components of System Architecture
Server
Network
Storage
Security
It provides the computing power of an information system. The information system uses this computing power to process the business logic and data by running the application programs.
its components include the stacked structures of the computer's hardware, OS, middleware, and application programs.
Server
it connects the information system components for communication.
process communication between servers, between servers and storage units, and between the enterprise's internal and external networks.
Network
holds the data of an information system.
The information system uses this computing Power to process the business logic and data by running the application programs.
Storage
Storage is categorized into 4 types according to how it stores data.
Block storage
File storage
Object storage
Direct Access Storage (DAS)
saves data in fixed block units, like 16KB and 64KB. It stores the OS, such as MS Windows, Linux, and Unix.
Block storage
saves data in file units, instead of in fixed blocks. Network Attached Storage (NAS), widely used as the shared file repository, is a type of file storage.
File storage
saves data in object units, instead of in fixed blocks or files. It is mostly used in cloud storage. Storage types can also be categorized by their connection method.
Object storage
__is mounted in each server, NAS is connected through a network, and Storage Area Network (SAN) is connected through the network used exclusively for storage.
Direct Access Storage (DAS)
configured through the network connection.
Security
System architecture classification according to the system layout
Centralized architecture
Multi-region
arranges all the systems in a centralized place.
stores and operates the system and data from an integrated center. It configures an integrated database on a large-capacity server and it has a relatively simple system configuration.
Centralized architecture
distributed architecture operates the system by distributing regional and application systems regionally.
Each region manages the distributed data using small or medium-sized servers. This structure can reduce the load of each server, since it distributes the user load.
Multi-region distributed system architecture

A process has a distinct process status during its lifecycle
Process status
Created: A process is created but is not running by the OS.
Preparing: The process is waiting for the CPU allocation to run.
Running: The process has the CPU allocation.
Finished: The process has completed its running, and the CPU allocation is released.
Standby: The process ran after getting the CPU allocation, and is waiting for an event, such as the completion of input or output.

single-thread process
having multiple threads, is called a

P and V
There may be a case when the status of a process in “standby” is never changed because the requested resource is allocated to other standby processes. This state is called the __
deadlock.
___ cannot finish the running program, and the system cannot start other tasks because the resource is tied to other processes.
deadlocked processes
