1. A computer-implemented method of managing data in a networked environment, comprising:

  • under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,receiving workload data having a specified terminating address for one of a group of host servers selected to process a common set of the workload data for a customer, the group of host servers being connected by a network aggregation fabric including layers of network switches, a path across the network aggregation fabric to each of the host servers in the group of host servers involving a number of connections across the layers of network switches, the group of host servers being dispersed across a number of network switches for at least a lowest layer of the network aggregation fabric;

    routing the workload data to a host server of the group of host servers corresponding to the specified terminating address, the workload data being processed by a processing host server of the group of host servers;

    receiving updates corresponding to the processed workload data obtained from the processing host server; and

    routing the updates to other host servers in the group of host servers according to an absolute ordering received from the processing host server, the absolute ordering of the other host servers comprising an iterated transmission sequence of the other host servers in the group of host servers, wherein routing the updates comprises the host server transmitting the updates to a next host in the iterated transmission sequence.
