Virtual storage

In telecommunication, virtual storage is the storage space that may be regarded as addressable main storage by the user of a computer system in which virtual addresses are mapped into real addresses.

Note: The size of virtual storage is limited by the addressing scheme of the computer system and by the amount of auxiliary storage available, and not by the actual number of main storage locations.
