Abstract

A server instance includes a first region to perform one or more privileged functions and a second region to perform one or more non-privileged functions. Thus, the privileged functions are separate from the non-privileged functions. The first region includes at least a portion of an object request broker, which is used in communicating with one or more clients coupled to the server instance. The second region executes non-privileged application code, and can be replicated within the server instance based on workload management criteria.
