Abstract

A multimedia storage system plays a vital role for the performance and scalability of multimedia servers. To handle the server load imposed by increased user access to on-demand multimedia streaming applications, new storage system solutions are needed. Multimedia storage systems store and retrieve data from storage devices and manage related issues including data placement, scheduling, file management, continuous data delivery, memory buffering, and prefetching. For high-data-rate multimedia systems, storage systems have long been viewed as a primary bottleneck for two reasons. First, multimedia applications have a much higher storage system load than previous applications. Second, storage devices have become only marginally faster compared to increased processor and network performance. This increasing speed mismatch has fueled a search for new storage structures and file system storage and retrieval mechanisms
