Abstract
Storage management algorithms handle continuous media objects stored o n video servers within a hierarchical distributed video-on-demand syst em. Media objects stored permanently on tertiary storage devices are m oved to video servers when needed. Algorithms manage the distributed c ache in the video servers and select a video server on which to place a requested object. The object-placement algorithm uses server load, n etwork load, and service-wait times to optimize system performance.
