A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for committing transactions on remote servers is presented. Commit requests are issued to remote servers in a set of remote servers to request that the remote servers in the set of remote servers agree to commit a transaction at a first designated future time. When responses from the remote servers in the set of remote servers are received before a first abort time and indicate that all remote servers in the set of remote servers have agreed to commit the transaction at the first designated future time, commit commands are issued to the remote servers in the set of remote servers instructing the remote servers to perform the transaction at the first designated future time.
