As Gilles points out, my suggestion above merely indicates the underlying meaning, and in so doing reflects perhaps too closely the highly informal syntax of the source text. That said, I do very often encounter just this sort of (no doubt reprehensible!) abbreviation of syntax in the same sort of informal, everyday documents I receive here in FR. We are not, after all, preparing a literary treatise to be submitted to the Académie Française! LOL / MDR!

Of course, 'source' might not mean 'buy', though in this professional context, I hope so; literally, it just means 'get' or 'obtain' or more formally 'procure' — they might, for example, be going to obtain it from another supplier, but give it to this contractor for integration.

: I think you're probably right "n/a (:) (the) server (is) client sourced" i.e. sourced by the client

Thanks, Simon! Seems to make sense in the light of the general context... ;-)

: that makes sense ... C'est le client qui s'occupe de l'achat du serveur.

: I see this sort of informal language from native FR writers every day = ce n'est pas correct en fr sans article, c'est comme çà....C'est du style télégraphique et dans un texte marketing, ça ne pardonne pas....

Je crois que vous chipoter pour rien là ! Tout le monde a compris ce que je voulais dire, et dans les grandes lignes, c'est correct. De toute façon, rien nous dit que c'est un texte marketing... de l'anglais, je ne l'avais pas compris ainsi.
