| | Wildwuchs | Explanation:
"Sprawl" in the context of virtualization means that the number of machines gets so high that administrators have a hard time managing them all. A commonly used German term here is "Wildwuchs".
For "agent sprawl", it might be good to know what the previous sentences are to determine what exactly "agent" refers to.
You could say "Agent-Wildwuchs" ("Agent" being a term similar to "Client" or "Server" here) but there might be a more specific word for "agent" here depending on the context (e.g. "Programmwildwuchs" could also apply). |
