pool of computer/IT resources/equipment


Explanation:
With Platform LSF HPC, a virtualized pool of IT resources are shared, eliminating the need to designate specific IT resources for each batch job. The
self-adaptive capabilities of Platform LSF HPC reduce administration and associated costs by dynamically allocating resources to adapt to a changing
IT infrastructure

In order to fulfil these aims a network has been set up that allows businesses to donate their redundant IT equipment to the project and thus create a pool of IT equipment that voluntary and community sector, schools, start-up businesses and individuals have access to.
The pool of IT equipment to aid people with disabilities should be expanded.

A pool of computer equipment acquired in 1997 and the subject of an election under Section 37 Capital Allowances Act 1990 with a balance of £67,500

Sherry’s managers like to make administrative tasks as simple as possible for
their employees, so a pool of computer resources are maintained in a room

With which addresses Synexsys Inventory
From its nature, Synexsys Inventory is as well adapted to the small structures of a few tens of PC, as with the multisite organizations, having several tens of thousands of machines. Whatever the size of the data-processing park or its progression, Synexsys Inventory follows the evolution from there without no adaptation being necessary.

The people in load of the management of the data-processing park in their daily work as well as the technicians of helpdesk benefit first of an application of inventory PC such as Synexsys Inventory.

But the information managed in Synexsys Inventory can also be of administrative type or not to even be in direct relation with the data-processing park, (telephony can be managed manually in Synexsys Inventory for example). Thus, any person using of information of inventory of a technical or administrative nature can find many advantages to use Synexsys Inventory.

IT Park


Explanation:
As the context appears to be a promotional brochure, then I think IT Park has the right 'buzz' about it

A comparable phrase would be \'Technology Park\', a small site devoted to (primarily, new) technology business companies.

(all your) computer/IT equipment


Explanation:
We don't really have a true one-for-one equivalent for "parc informatique" that fits all occasions.
What it basically means is all the computer 'stuff' you have. Usually used in a corporate context to refer to all the computer/IT stuff a company has (not necessarily owns, but has available to it).

And in fact in your text, you have a handy list of what goes to make up a "parc informatique". Given that list, I'd suggest you can get away with just saying "collects daily info about all your computer equipment".

Trying to find a word, in this context, for "parc" just makes a text stilted in my opinion. Words like pool or base can be useful in other contexts, but here, I'd opt for keeping it simple.
