Do we have a Salesforces global database for all clients that installed my package?

Please help me with this question and please correct me if I misunderstand anything.

I am developing a package, in this package, I created some custom objects. I also have my external Web Service and my external database. Please take a look at my picture for more details:

As I imagined, when clients install my package from App Exchange, the custom objects will be added to clients side, so they have their own database. The content of custom objects in each clients will be different. Is it correct or not?

And another question: Do I have some kind of "global Salesforce database" (stored in custom objects) but all clients will see it?

Thank you very much for your time!

When you create a package and clients deploy it, they will only b getting metadata i.e. the configuration changes you have set in your components. They will not be getting an data with the package.

They will be using the metadata to create the data that they need to store in the components.

Salesforce doesn't provide any global database for editions we offer, however, our developer ORG does have test data which is common on all developer ORGsHoping I've understood your questions correctly and the details help..

@Sonam: Thank you very much for your answer.

For the "global database", we will use it via our external web-service.
