Abstract—Nowadays, the rapid development of
digital TV media applications proposes higher
requirements on the performance of the media
servers. This paper discusses such a media server
based on multi-core network processors. These
servers are deployed at the edge of the Internet to
provide services independently, catering to the
characteristics of digital TV. However, it is crucial
to find an appropriate storage solution that
provides high IO performance for the media
servers in such architecture. In this paper, based on
the disk array and storage cluster technology,
several storage solutions for the media server are
evaluated and discussed. Finally we propose the
most appropriate storage solution for the media
server at present.
