Abstract

A Video-On-Demand(VOD) system has a large amount of video data in its server storage and sends the data to users via communication networks interactively. In this paper, we discuss the problems of a server which uses disks as its permanent storage for a video database. In order to avoid these problems, this paper proposes several video data allocation methods for a VOD server that utilizes the jukeboxes of optical disks, and compares their performance and implementation costs. Jukeboxes of optical disks can be more suitable for the storage of a large video database since it is reliable and inexpensive. In addition, this paper discusses the cost-effective integration of a VOD server that combines the advantages of the hierarchical and disk-based servers.
