ABSTRACT:
A method for retrieving video data which has been striped across a plurality of disks using a coarse-grained striping technique. Specifically, and in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises scheduling the retrieval of a video in response to an incoming request and based on the availability of bandwidth on the disks, and then rescheduling the retrieval of that video to occur at an earlier time, the rescheduling based on a change (i.e., an increase) in the availability of bandwidth on the disks which results from the retrieval of another video being completed. The scheduling and rescheduling may, for example, comprise assigning a disk to the video, where the method further comprises incrementing the disk assigned to the video as each round occurs and beginning the retrieval of the given video when the disk assigned to it is the disk on which the data for the given video begins.
