Construction / Civil Engineering / Puerto Rican outsourcing agreement
Spanish term or phrase: levantamiento del equipo
Good evening! The above phrase occurs in a service agreement between a company and an outsourcer. The outsourcer is charging for disaster recovery computer services for the company's IT needs:

Durante la prueba, se pudo observar que el personal actuó según lo pactado. EL LEVANTAMIENTO DEL EQUIPO en el sitio secundario se ejecutó conforme lo separado, lgorando el correcto funcionamiento de la aplicación.

As always, a thousand thanks!

When the primary site stops functioning, all applications must move to the secondary site to ensure continuity.

bring the computer back online


Explanation:
The outsourcer managed to bring the computer / system back online and have the application up and running.
This is rather an IT matter so you might want to consider filing this in "computer". It has been discussed before in Proz; please see my web reference link.

agree  neilmac: Informal/conversationally, this is fine, but I'd tend to use a more formal register in an agreement/contract.

  -> Thanks! I work in IT and really can't come up with another expression that doesn't make me scratch my head. IMHO, "levantamiento" is an attempt at making "levantar el equipo" sound formal. See http://tinyurl.com/y4rshbg2 and https://tinyurl.com/y3mzs8rv.
