....guaranteed isochronous data throughput, but a typical file system, such as Unix, is always optimized for lowest average random data access time. 1. 3 Video Server In this survey, we will focus on video servers because several enterprise vendors, such as IBM [12, 11, 8] Microsoft Corporation [2, 14, 9], and Sun Enterprise [1, 4, 7, 6] have enormous investments in this market. A video server requires state of the art architectural design because of its huge bandwidth need and strict requirement of time constraints e.g. 2 Gamma 6MBits=s to a potentially large (10; 000 ) customers. In the ....
....top. Striping and scheduling in this way smooth data from a bursty data source (disks) and provide continuous data streams to multiple clients. However, this is not without cost, considering the stream startup latency introduced in order to insert a viewer stream to a free slot. The authors in [2] claim that this takes (1 1= 1 Gamma ff) 2 ) 2 units of block service time, where ff is the fraction of the slots that are full. Thus the stream startup latency is still acceptable, in exchange of the benefit of resource contention avoidance. 3.5 Nonscheduled Operations and FF FR Tiger ....

....[14] We view SDMI as largely orthogonal to our work: we have focused on building a music delivery service, rather than on what is done after the music has been delivered. There have been a number of projects involved in the delivery of audio and or video over digital networks (for example, [5]) these projects mainly concern themselves with the technology of media delivery. In contrast, we have left that issue largely unaddressed, as it is orthogonal to our own goals; we were more interested in the mechanisms of the service, rather than the mechanisms of serving. 6 Conclusions In this ....
