An efficient method for supporting multiple types of services on SMART server

The SMART server is a special purpose server for efficient multimedia streaming service over high speed networks. For sending multimedia streams at high speed, the SMART server adopts a special hardware called as NS card. The SMART system also has a special file system module and streaming module. In this paper, we focused on distribution of contents between global servers and local servers. Specially, we propose a mechanism that multiple types of services can be supported efficiently. With this mechanism, the SMART system can provide effectiveness in managing storage and distribution policy
