A Database Transactional System (DTS) is a system designed to ensure data integrity and reliability by managing concurrent access and modifications to a database through transactions. A transaction is a logical unit of work that must be either fully completed or completely rolled back, leaving the database in a consistent state. DTS adhere to the ACID properties: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability.

A distributed system is a collection of autonomous computing elements that appears to its users as a single coherent system. These systems are essential for building scalable, fault-tolerant applications that can handle large amounts of data and traffic across multiple machines.
