Abstract
An improved system, method and software program is provided for facilitating the use of components running in a computer network. The improvement provides virtual replication of a distributed directory in a computer system. The system includes at least two servers, each including a processor connected to a network for store, among other things, a partition of information. The partition may be distributed across the network. The memory of the second server can store, among other things, a virtual replica of the partition. The virtual replica includes a filtered view, or subset, of the information in the partition.
