Does technology exist that could allow devices to access and use data without having to download or stream it?
<p>Say the data never has to be copied to the client device, but always remains locked in the server.  Say all the requesting device does is "hack in" to the server using a special code and only downloads some kind of tiny-size alias that gives it access to the entire file(s) on the server?  Does this technology already exist, or if not, does it sound possible?</p>
