The server array: a scalable video server architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The server array is a novel video server architecture based on partitioning each video over multiple server nodes, thereby achieving perfect load balancing for any demand distribution. We discuss the main design issues, compute the buffer requirements at the client, and compare the reliability of different video server architectures.

The Server Array : A Novel Architecture for a Scalable Video Server
We present a novel video server architecture that achieves perfect load balancing for any sort of demand distribution. We derive the main design issues, derive the formulas for the buffer requirements at the client, and we present a prototype implementation.
متن کاملVIOLA - A Scalable and Fault - Tolerant Video - on - Demand System
In this paper, we present the architecture of a Video-on-Demand system called VIOLA. This system exhibits two distinctive features not found in other Video-on-Demand systems, namely scalability, and fault tolerance. System scalability is achieved through a novel Server Array architecture in which video data are distributed among an array of servers. This allows one to scale up the system capaci...
متن کاملDesign and Performance Study of Scalable Video Storage in a Disk-Array-Based Video Server
This paper explores a data placement method based on rate staggering to store scalable video data in a diskarray-based video server. Scalable video means a video which is coded in such a way that subsets of the full video bit stream can be decoded to create low quality/resolution videos. Supporting layered multiple resolutions from a video server is very desirable in many applications. Note tha...
متن کاملDesigning a Server Array System for Multimedia World-Wide-Web Services
In [1] we reported the design and implementation of a video-on-demand (VOD) system using a server array architecture. In this paper, we extend the work into a full multimedia server array system for world-wide-web services. The system allows stream-type services such as video and audio guaranteed continuous service irrespective of the background data traffic. The server array approach has the b...
متن کاملStaggered push - a linearly scalable architecture for push-based parallel video servers
With the rapid performance improvements in low-cost PCs, it becomes increasingly practical and cost-effective to implement large-scale video-on-demand (VoD) systems around parallel PC servers. This paper proposes a novel parallel video server architecture where video data are striped across an array of autonomous servers connected by an interconnection network. To coordinate data transmissions ...
