Abstract

Multimedia storage servers provide access to multimedia objects including text, images, audio, and video. Due to the real-time storage and retrieval requirements and the large storage space and data transfer rate requirements of digital multimedia, however, the design of such servers fundamentally differs from conventional storage servers. Architectures and algorithms required for designing digital multimedia storage servers is the subject matter of this chapter.
