Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / modular data centers
English term or phrase: IT plan in a can
As the modular data center market grows and matures, the concept is gradually shedding its "IT plan in a can" reputation. "It's evolving from the container to a pre-configured type of environment," Lee says.
如何才能译出贬损、讥讽的意思来?
can应该不是“容器”(喻指模块化数据中心)单单所能体现的。

易拉罐式的 IT 计划


Explanation:
众所周知,易拉罐,方便固然是方便,不过毕竟造价低廉,坚固性和可靠性就要大打折扣了。
我看了下原文有一张插图,给出的图注是 Like a prefab home, modular data centers rely on inexpensive building materials and construction practices. 我想,所反映的大概也就是这种意思吧。

将非常严肃的 IT 计划寄托在易拉罐中,讽刺之意不言自明。
