ABSTRACT:
A method for increasing the storage capacity of a video server which utilizes an array of disks is disclosed. The server is operated so that the continuity of a plurality of bit streams is maintained. The inventive method has advantageous characteristics with respect to storage capacity, streaming capacity, start-up latency of new streams, amount of required buffer capacity, scalability, reliability and multiple bit rates.
