Virtual is one of those overused technical words like interface. For a language 
with so many words with such subtle meanings, English speakers really do have 
the lingual facilities to do better than to constantly reuse the same word for 
different innovations.
 
That notwithstanding, with so many technical implementations being called 
"virtual" today, it is sometimes necessary to define which context of "virtual" 
you are referring to in any given situation.
 
Once this is established, you must take all the other "virtuals" that might be 
bandied about and store them someplace out of mind. That place would be called 
"virtual storage."
 

I hope this clears things up.
