Abstract
Abstract A method of processing a remote procedure call from a client computer to an object stored on an aggregation of server computers includes the step of checking a server aggregation location data field and a server aggregation contact strategy data field of the remote procedure call. The aggregation of server computers is designated as replicating server computers, migrating server computers, or federated server computers based upon the checking operation. Once a server computer aggregation topology is identified, parameters associated with the remote procedure call may be modified to alter the interaction with the server computer aggregation.
