Abstract
This paper describes the architecture and design of a Virtual Video File System which is a multimedia database solution. The system provides the functionality of a typical video-on-demand system and is combined with archive storage to obtain larger scalability. Its architecture has been designed with CORBA in mind. The Oracle Video Server and the UniTree Storage System interfaces have been wrapped with CORBA objects. The results is a solution which can be easily expanded or adapted to individual needs.
