What is Remote Disc noted in Devices?

I just bought the Macbook Air 11 inch and one of the first things I did was migrate from my Macbook, is that what Remote Disc is as noted in Finder under Devices?
I tried to eject it, Get info, I have no clue what it is or does.
Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), and a macbook

From pg 19 of the manual:


Sharing Discs with DVD or CD Sharing
You can enable DVD or CD Sharing on a Mac or Windows computer to use the Remote Disc feature of
 MacBook Air. Remote Disc allows you to share the discs you insert into the optical disc drive of the
 other computer. Some discs, such as DVD movies and game discs, may be copy-protected and
 therefore unusable through DVD or CD Sharing.
Make sure DVD or CD Sharing is already set up on any Mac or Windows computer you want to partner
 with. For information, see page 15.
