Abstract
In this paper, a storage mechanism is devised to balance the load and to provide immediate service to the clients with a start-up delay of 2ms to 7 ms. The video storage is based on the probability of the clients requesting for the video. Videos with higher probability of being requested are stored and replicated to ensure guaranteed retrieval. Parity generation scheme is employed to provide reliability to non-popular videos. The system is also capable of handling disk failures transparently and thereby providing a reliable service to the clients.
