<p>I marked in bold the part I consider more problematic. This is the proposal of Youdao but I don't think it's quite enough: &quot;<em>By connecting simple terminals to share the computer, the large computer resources are divided to the application users by virtual technology</em>&quot;.</p>
<p>How would you translate it? Suggestions? Thank you :)</p>

I'm struggling with the reading and the translation of a computer text, precisely concerning cloud computing and the history of computing in general. In particular, there is one sentence that is causing me several problems.

"20 世纪60 年代，计算机水平低、成本高，只能建以大计算机为中心的机房，**通过联接功能简单的终端共享计算机，以虚拟技术把大计算机资源分割给以终端对应用用户使用**，这就是集中计算模式"

I marked in bold the part I consider more problematic. This is the proposal of Youdao but I don't think it's quite enough: "*By connecting simple terminals to share the computer, the large computer resources are divided to the application users by virtual technology*".

How would you translate it? Suggestions? Thank you :)
