Abstract :
In contrast to specialized video servers, advanced multimedia applications for tele-shopping, tele-teaching and news-on-demand exhibit a mixed workload with massive access to conventional, “discrete” data such as text document, images and indexes as well as requests for “continuous data” such as video. The paper briefly describes the prototype of a multimedia information server that stores discrete and continuous data on a shared disk pool and is able to handle a mixed workload in a very efficient way
