proprietární uzamknutí systému


Explanation:
Va vaší ukázce chybí docela kontext, ale myslím, že tohle by mohlo být ono. Proprietární uzamknutí systému znamená, že společnost vyvine systém a prodá jej zákazníkům, avšak další servis či rozšíření systému může provádět právě jen tato společnost, jelikož zná detailní fungování systému nebo na něj má výhradní práva. Tím si zákazníka "uzamkne" - zákazníci musí odebírat služby/software pouze od této jedné společnosti. Termín se označuje i pod "vendor lock-in".

Example sentence(s):
  • We benefit by thinking of System Lock-in simply as a series of barriers: Barriers fro the customer to exit from you, and barriers for your competitors to gain entry to your customer.

izolovanost systému


Explanation:
další možnost bez kontextu, na základě hesla z důvěryhodného IT slovníku Foldoc:
lock-in
<standard> When an existing standard becomes almost impossible to supersede because of the cost or logistical difficulties involved in convincing all its users to switch something different and, typically, incompatible.
The common implication is that the existing standard is notably inferior to other comparable standards developed before or since.
Things which have been accused of benefiting from lock-in in the absence of being truly worthwhile include: the QWERTY keyboard; any well-known operating system or programming language you don't like (e.g., see "Unix conspiracy"); every product ever made by Microsoft Corporation; and most currently deployed formats for transmitting or storing data of any kind (especially the Internet Protocol, 7-bit (or even 8-bit) character sets, analog video or audio broadcast formats and nearly any file format).
Because of network effects outside of just computer networks, Real World examples of lock-in include the current spelling conventions for writing English (or French, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.); the design of American money; the imperial (feet, inches, ounces, etc.) system of measurement; and the various and anachronistic aspects of the internal organisation of any government (e.g., the American Electoral College).
