Fault Tolerance in a Distributed Media Server

Donald Craig

A new generation of media servers utilizes component building blocks interconnected with a variety of networking technologies. These architectures are made possible by the dramatic advances in network performance of the past few years, and permit the bandwidth and fault tolerance of the server to be tuned on an application specific basis. This paper briefly reviews the evolution of media server designs over the past decade, then examines specific configurations of a modern architecture in particular applications.
