Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0026797A9] A split computer (122) comprises a main module (140) remotely connected by external PCI bus (170) to an input/output (I/O) or extension module (142). The main module (140) comprises a processor (181) and an external PCI bus first interface (300). The input/output (I/O) module comprises one or more input and/or output device controllers and an external PCI bus second interface. The external PCI bus connects the external bus first interface of the main module with the external bus second interface of the input/output (I/O) module. The main module executes application programs, maintains user configurations, and maintains application configurations. Yet since the main module is located remotely, e.g., at a data center (150), both security and centralized management are realized using existing hardware and software. The input/output (I/O) module has a relative small footprint and primarily performs input and output operations.
