The current paper describes the ongoing work on the infrastructure support, in order to increase its scalability and fault-tolerance. For that purpose we are developing a distributed version of the VSTM, such that multiple application servers can concurrently serve different request and still coordinate in an efficient manner to provide strong consistency guarantees to the applications.
