Monolithic environments install all the Abiquo components inside the same appliance, and they are good for probe of concept and testing purposes
Monolithic environments only require a monolithic appliance, and optionally, a monitoring appliance.
Monolithic environmentDistributed environments separate Abiquo components depending on they characteristics for improved performance and reliability, and they are good for production environments
