Provided are systems and methods for performing network-based digital data software switching between geographically dispersed subject computing devices, to obtain full access to digital data from the non-transitory computer-readable media of geographically dispersed computing devices such that the entire physical or logical media from each device is fully accessible to one or more user computers on the Internet. This is achieved via network-based digital data software switching systems that may be implemented on public or private networks. The data software switching system may be implemented on a private network for use by a private entity, or it may be achieved via a "cloud computing" model whereupon the user obtains, from a public network such as the Internet, the use of both dedicated and shared resources to engage the data software switching capability.
