Meant to include a quote:

The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

Take a look at HADOOP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Hadoop and
http://hadoop.apache.org/

Is there such a thing as a virtual server, with virtual memory, running
on a geographically widely distributed collection of physical machines
tied together as one virtual server? Are we talking about something
like Google Docs on steroids? Is this another name for "the Cloud"?

I am asking these questions because I am sensing that this solution is
not available to us on the midrange platform? lol If so, apparently
that is a good thing?
