Context:
Class 4 and 5 switches are monolithic constructs; many softswitches are smaller but are still made of monolithic code, which does not lend itself to simple replication of specific, discrete software partitions for backup and reliability.
 

Monolithic = "of one stone"

Means that the program is one tightly integrated whole, which cannot be conveniently broken apart.

Monolithic code is said to fail catastrophically. It is fine when it runs, but when it goes bad it goes horrid.
