Word or term in question:

digital plumbing

Context:

free that data and your time by installing digital plumbing that leaves the original data in place but allows copies of it to flow freely. - is the full sentence. Apparently there is some "restructuring" done in the system architecture while the data can still be used and users work without interruption. I can't seem to think of a German equivalent for some "plumbing work" on the system ...

cf https://www.techopedia.com/definition/31509/plumbing

Plumbing is a term used to describe the technology and connections between systems in a cloud computing model. It includes the systems, storage, network and the interconnection components that form the cloud environment. The term is an analogy to the plumbing of water systems. Just as water is carried from reservoirs to homes and usage centers, the data from data centers is delivered to the end stations via its plumbing. The quality of plumbing decides the efficiency of the applications and services delivered.
Plumbing is the way cloud computing has its resources and network wired together via a variety of channels. ...etc.

My comment:

I would translate it literally rather than trying to interpret it in a very unclear context, as it is presented to us at least (cf. "Apparently": the asker does not seem sure of what the context is, so how could answerers speculate from such an unclear context? What comes after "Apparently" is not the first thing that came to my mind when I first read the source sentence - and even after that...).

That's the problem with amateur "translators": not only they cannot translate, but they cannot ask the question either. And I am not even speaking about choosing the correct answer...

I am probably doing this "for free" thus...

Amen.

looks like an additional security measure against digital extortion ?
