Abstract
The present invention provides a mechanism whereby active servers are able to extend their RAM by using memory available in standby servers. This can be achieved, without having to take the servers out of their standby mode, by implementing a memory manager operating in at least one active server and configured to directly access the memory of the servers in standby mode, without requiring the processor of these servers in standby mode to be active. In these servers in standby mode, at least their memory, their network card and their communication means are active, whereas at least their processor is in standby mode.
