fabricwide

Fabricwide is a term with no single, widely accepted definition. In technology discussions, it is sometimes used informally to denote characteristics or operations that span an entire fabric—the interrelated set of systems, services, and devices that form a software or data fabric. In this sense, fabricwide actions are those applied across all nodes or regions of the fabric, such as policy enforcement, monitoring, or configuration propagation. Because the term is informal, precise meaning varies by author and vendor.

In textiles and manufacturing, there is no standard term "fabricwide." Market literature typically uses "fabric width" to describe the physical width of a fabric. When "fabricwide" appears in product naming or marketing, it most often denotes a brand, a line of wide-width fabrics, or a feature indicating a broader width, rather than a technical specification.

Origins of the term are unclear. It has appeared sporadically in product pages, white papers, and blog posts but lacks formal definition in standard glossaries or catalogs. As such, references to fabricwide should be interpreted from their specific context.
