Explanation:
Not quite sure what the real query is here, but note that 'base (de données)' in FR very often translates to 'database', so you need to read that very much in context!

As for 'parc', exactly how you best translate will depend totally on your wider context, and what exactly it comprises. Generally, it will be the 'pool' of equipment in a computer system, but I think more often than not, 'pool' in EN would convey the wrong image.

'facilities' is a nice, fuzzy, catch-all kind of word; you might find that something like 'plant' can also work, but like I said, the choice really does all depend on the overall context.

Asker: Thanks, Tony. I was missing the point about base being database...

agree  Bourth (X): Unless we're talking "parc" of nuclear power plants and "clusters" of control rods!/I'm sure it is, just being obtuse.
