Predictive fault tolerant placement in distributed video servers
Xiaoping Wei, Nalini Venkatasubramanian · 2001
Abstract: A high degree of data availability is required to ensure QoS in distributed video server environments. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for fault tolerant data placement in a distributed video server that determines the placement of video objects so as to ensure continuity of video requests in the event of node failures. Our performance studies indicate that object distribution strategies have a significant impact on the video placement process.
