# Multi-engine deployment

In a multi-engine installation, at least two engines are installed on separate computers. The scheduler distributes the workload among available engines.

For example, a large report, composed of many different entities, would be split into many different parts that are sent to different engines. Each engine creates a part, and then the scheduler coordinates the assembly of the whole report.
