TLDR; Treating memory like a shared resource basically (Still some local but a ton more in a external box like a rackmount memory system that multiple other systems can use).

>In modern datacenters, storage can live anywhere — local to the machine, remotely accessed over the network, and/or shared between systems. The next generation of servers will treat system memory in much the same way. Systems will still have some local DDR5, but the bulk of it will be remotely accessed from what some have taken to calling the memory godbox. The ongoing DRAM shortage has created a perfect storm for the proliferation of the appliances, which not only allow for memory to be pooled, but also data stored in that memory to be shared by multiple machines simultaneously. In effect, memory becomes a fungible resource.
