Design of multimedia storage systems for on-demand playback

This paper presents a comprehensive procedure to design multimedia storage systems for on-demand playback. The design stresses effective utilization of disk bandwidth with minimal data buffer to minimize overall system costs. The design procedure is most distinctive in the following two aspects: it bases on a tight upper bound of the lumped disk seek time for the Scan disk scheduling algorithm to achieve effective utilization of disk bandwidth; it starts with a general two-level hierarchical disk array structure to derive the optimal configuration for specific requirements.<<ETX>>
