Book excerpt: On-demand video servers based on hierarchical storage systems are able to offer high-capacity and low-cost video storage. In such a system, video files are stored in the tertiary level and transferred to the secondary level to be displayed. Designing such servers allowing user interaction with the playbacked video is of great interest. We have conducted a comprehensive study on the architecture and operation of such a VOD server. Our objective is to understand its performance characteristics, so as to design a video server to meet specific application requirements. Applications of interest include distance-learning, movie-on-demand, interactive news, home-shopping, etc.
