Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) | | English term or phrase: footprint | I am having problems grasping the term "footprint" in this article about virtualization technologies:
Today, using virtualization technologies, entire server farms of mixed operating systems can often be consolidated into a single computing ''footprint**.
IT needs a technology strategy that will permit the expansion of the computing infrastructure while reducing the complexity of its operations into more manageable and secure **footprints**.
Any ideas how to render this in German? Thanks in advance. |

Gemeint ist damit dann, dass trotz ständig wachsender Rechenleistung die Unterbringung der Technik immer einfacher wird und weniger Platz benötigt.
