Description of work packages/project phases Leider nicht viel mehr Kontext;es handelt sich um eine Liste verschiedener Arbeitspakete: Konfiguration der beiden Datenbank Schemata/Installation des Fileserver Agenten...Clusteranbindung usw...Installation von 2 App Servern...even the "Shared Nothing" has me stumped!
Ken Cox Jan 8, 2009:
re anglecisms Aside from the violence they do to the language, anglecisms in German aren't such a problem for translation if you know the subject in English. What's worse (far worse) for translation is DIY or ad hoc translations from English to German, which may be what you're dealing with here. As one of the meanings of schwenken is 'to pan' (as in filming), it might be a 'pan(ning) test', but that's guesswork.
Bernd Runge Jan 8, 2009:
Hallo Veronika, soll hier ein physischer Server auf einen virtuellen Server "umgeschwenkt" werden? Ein bisschen mehr vom guten alten Kontext wäre schön ... Ansonsten wäre auch der Lasttest (performance and load testing/fail-over) eine Option.

Maybe? Admittedly guessing here.

Please google for:
"ping-pong test" + "cluster"
