  Abstract

Multimedia Systems such as VOD(Video On Demand) and MOD (Multimedia On Demand) need to support continuous media operations which are randomly called by concurrent users and require that stored media be accessed in real-tim. To satisfy such a requirements, disk arrays consisting of multiple disks are generally used as storage systems. Under the real-time environments to provide users with accessing continuous media in the parallel and concurrent manner, storage systems should be able to deal with user requests independently. In this paper, we present a new fault-tolerant continuous media storage system called PADA(PRRjp bAsed Disk Array), which is based on a PRRjp (Prime Round Robin with Grouped Parties) disk placement scheme with enhanced reliability nd load-balancing. We have compared and evaluated the storage space overhead for fault-tolerance, the reliability of diks array systems, the degree of disk load0-balancing, the demanded buffer space, the maximum number of users being capable of supporting and the fault recovery overhead for PADA, RAID 5 and Declustered storage systems. According to the results, PADA is the best among them in that PADA satisfies load-balancing more effectively and servces more user in case of arbitrary-rate retrievals.
