Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing virtual machines to pool memory from disparate server systems that may have disparate types of memory is described. The method may include establishing communication between a pool virtual machine and two or more publisher virtual machines. The method may also include aggregating, by the pool virtual machine, portions of memory from each of two or more publisher servers to generate a pool of memory, and providing an application with access to the pool of memory, through the pool virtual machine.
