A Novel Replica Placement Strategy for Video Servers

چکیده
Mirroring-based reliability as compared to parity-based reliability signi cantly simpli es the design and the implementation of video servers, since in case of failure mirroring does not require any synchronization of reads or decoding to reconstruct the lost video data. While mirroring doubles the amount of storage volume required, the steep decrease of the cost of magnetic disk storage makes it more and more attractive as a reliability mechanism. We present in this paper a novel data layout strategy for replicated data on a video server. In contrast to classical replica placement schemes that store original and replicated data separately, our approach stores replicated data adjacent to original data and thus does not require additional seek overhead when operating with disk failure. We show that our approach considerably improves the server performance compared to classical replica placement schemes such as the interleaved declustering scheme and the scheme used by the Microsoft Tiger video server. Our performance metric is the maximum number of users that a video server can simultaneously support (server throughput).

Improve Replica Placement in Content Distribution Networks with Hybrid Technique
The increased using of the Internet and its accelerated growth leads to reduced network bandwidth and the capacity of servers; therefore, the quality of Internet services is unacceptable for users while the efficient and effective delivery of content on the web has an important role to play in improving performance. Content distribution networks were introduced to address this issue. Replicatin...

With the rapid development of the cloud computing and big data, many data center network are growing more large scale, and the number of servers is increasing at an exponential rate. In this paper, VCG (Vickrey-Clarke-Groves) mechanism was introduced into replica placement. Mapping from replica placement model to VCG mechanism was established and suitable payment function was designed. Data sto...

متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
