Abstract
A solution enabling the practical use of very large amounts of memory, external to a host computer system. With physical locality and confinement removed as an impediment, large quantities of memory, here before impractical to physically implement, now become practical. Memory chips and circuit cards no longer must be installed directly in a host system. Instead, the memory resources may be distributed or located centrally on a network, asconvenient, in much the same manner that mass storage is presently implemented.
