1. An apparatus for processing a unit of work, comprising: a network interface; and a processor programmed to: create a client computer batch message transaction group by selecting a subset of a plurality of client computers, where multiple messages from different client computers of the client computer batch message transaction group are committed as a batch messaging transaction to a single message reception queue and each of the plurality of client computers has a separate communication channel with the apparatus via the network interface; in response to receiving separate messages from at least two of the subset of the plurality of client computers within the client computer batch message transaction group, group the separate messages under the batch messaging transaction as a single unit of work to commit to the single message reception queue; and compute a single batch transaction commit decision based upon whether a write of each of the separate messages grouped within the single unit of work to the single message reception queue is successful, where each of the at least two of the subset of the plurality of client computers is operable to accept the single batch transaction commit decision.
