Monolithic system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A monolithic architecture is where processing, data and the user interface all reside on the same system[citation needed].
Mainframe computers used a monolithic architecture with considerable success. Monolithic architectures implemented on DOS and earlier Windows based PCs often worked poorly with multiple users[citation needed]. This performance degradation is mainly due to poor mechanisms for record locking and file handling across local area networks[citation needed].
