The method further includes providing a second client application independently in operative communication with each of the servers via a second client abstraction layer, receiving one or more of the duplicate critical messages at the second client abstraction layer, selecting a critical message from the one or more duplicate critical messages, and delivering the selected critical message to the second client application.
