English term or phrase: data centre sprawl
IT, computers

Paragraph describes how companies are dealing with data floods and then writes: "This shift has led to the phenomenon of data centre sprawl."

It's quite clear what is meant here, but is there a snappy German term for this?

ugs: dass Datenzentren wie Pilze aus dem Boden geschossen sind.

- na dut: wenn schon, dann \"pilzartig\". Hier geht\'s aber sowieso eher um die Erstreckung/Wachstumsrate von individuellen Datenzentren.

neutral  Hans G. Liepert: welche Pilze hast Du denn im Sinn, den hoch aufwachsenden (vertikalen) Pilz oder den sich am Boden ausbreitenden (horizontalen) Pilz? Oder gar den ringförmigen Hexenkreis?
15 mins
agree  Dipl.-Ing. Robert Bach (X): "über sich hinaus wachsenden Datenzentren" puts the sprawl in the data centers rather than in the number thereof. While both could apply, 20 years ago it would have been the number, now it is their ubiquity in a company etc..
27 mins
  -> Thank you; this is why I made that second suggestion
disagree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): no, Francis, both would not work, "pilzförmig" (shape)? No! "über sich hinauswachsen" has a different meaning.
34 mins
  -> Das sind zwei verschiedene Vorschläge! Dabei hat "über sich hinauswachsen" IMHO die richtige Bedeutung.
