Data transfer management method, software and system

摘要

A data transfer management system includes at least one extension component adapted to receive data. The at least one extension component is interfaced with a base component, at least one extension data store adapted to store data received by the at least one extension component, at least one processor integrated within a base component and a communications channel adapted to transfer data between the base component and an extension component. The processor(s) is adapted to process at least a portion of the data received by an extension component. The base component is adapted to receive data from an extension component using the communications channel, and an extension component is adapted to receive from the base component references to data stored within the extension component data store using the communications channel.
