Abstract
Distributed streaming servers based on clusters with multi-components have several failure points, which will destroy the systems or degrades the quality of services. How to provide reliable streaming services is a very important issue. Fault-tolerant schemes must be provided for video servers to improve system reliability and availability. This paper presents novel distributed media streaming services based on cluster architectures with fault-tolerant schemes, including video-on-demand services and video recording services. The new system eliminates three kinds of failure points and addresses the server and network failures, not only the disk or file failures. Experiment results have been proven that the system has better performance.
