This paper describes the results of studies on the peculiarities of distributed information systems, and the research of distributed systems technology development. The paper also provides the results of the analysis of E-business market research in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article briefly describes the implementation of a possible solution to a distributed system based on Java-technologies. The topicality of the work is determined by the need of E-business development to increase economic investments, as well as improving the competitiveness of Kazakhstan in the world trade. The paper gives a brief description of the types of E-business, the concept of a distributed system, types of distributed software systems, distributed systems architecture analysis, logical software layers of distributed systems, as well as the analysis of distributed systems technology development and Java-technologies for the development of distributed systems. In addition, an example of a distributed system development in E-business is provided--a Java-based online store, as well as the description of the implementation of a distributed system, the software part and a hardware part of a distributed system, the description of the logical architecture for the online store, the structure and the operation of the system. Also, the name and address of the implemented distributed system are given, which is the result of a study of distributed systems and the implementation of Java-based distributed systems. The development of E-business requires the implementation of an information system for the promotion of goods and services. Today, E-businesses mostly use information systems with distributed structure. The implementation of Java-based distributed systems in E-business is one way of the E-business development in Kazakhstan. The results are applicable to the post-Soviet and developing countries, which include Kazakhstan, as the theoretical basis for the development of E-business.
