»quiesce and shard

Some computer-science-industry jargon (different from the more general project-management jargon I encountered earlier):

quiesce

v.t., To quiesce is to put a computer, a program, a thread, or some other computer resource into a temporarily inactive or inhibited state. A resource that is in a quiesced state can be reactivated more quickly than one that has been completely removed from the system. Typically, any descriptive information about a resource that has been built by the system remains where it is during the quiescence. The reverse of quiesce is usually unquiesce, but reset and other terms are also used.

shard (as opposed to 'frag')

v.t., to split a single logical dataset into multiple physical stores. Each of the resulting sets is equivalent in size and responsibility to the others
sub, the component datasets resulting from sharding a database
fig. To split responsibilities for a project or service across several people.
