 # Distributed architecture [_data_store_architecture]
 
 {{es}} is a distributed document store. Instead of storing information as rows of columnar data, {{es}} stores complex data structures that have been serialized as JSON documents. When you have multiple {{es}} nodes in a cluster, stored documents are distributed across the cluster and can be accessed immediately from any node.
