Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / VMware
English term or phrase: Selectively, but on a large enough scale to make a difference
If virtualized resources can be pooled into the private cloud with vCloud Director, VMware hasn't stopped there. It's stepped outside the data center to somewhat preposterously tell service providers that they need adopt more VMware-enabled operations. ***Selectively, but on a large enough scale to make a difference***, many service providers have responded, creating an alternative to Amazon Web Services' infrastructure as a service.
就算可以借助vCloud Director将虚拟化资源汇集到私有云中，VMware也没有满足于此。它进入到了数据中心之外的领域，有点反常地告诉服务提供商：他们需要采取更多能够支持VMware的运营方式。XXXX，许多服务提供商作出了回应，建立了亚马逊网络服务的基础架构即服务之外的一种替代服务。

Explanation:
我的理解是：selectively 和 on a large enough scale to make a difference是主句many service providers have responded的状语，而且两个状语之间为转折关系。

Explanation:
窃以为这个respond如果直译为‘回应＇，意思有点儿模糊。根据上下文这个应该是供应商采纳了更多能支持它的运行模式。句式如果跟原文一样的话觉得有点别扭。试译如下：

相当多的网络供应商选择了响应VMware的要求，（数量虽然不多但）规模足以'产生'一种能替代亚马逊网络的运行架构。

对不起，“亚马逊网络“后面忘了加“服务“了。
