AVideo Platform Storage Scenario Description
Let's suppose I need to store 30 TB of videos. My videos are destined for 2 continents because I have videos in Chines (Asia) where I needed 10 TB, English (North America) where I need extra 20 TB.
We assume that my Streamer is currently installed on a 100 GB Disk server located in America.
We know this is not enough for our video site project so I will need at least 30 TB.
The good part is the 30 TB can be distributed on different servers.
We also assume that I only find servers with 12 TB disks.
That is, I will use 1 of these servers for Asia and 2 servers for America.
In summary, I will use a total of 4 servers
- Server 1 (100 GB) = Streamer
- Server 2 (12 TB Asia) = Storage
- Server 3 (12 TB America) = Storage
- Server 4 (12 TB America) = Storage
You have 3 options to decide where to host your videos.
- You can create default storage for your site.
- You can have a specific user always upload videos to specific storage
- You can move your videos between storages.
The image below shows the screen where these options are set.
In the above case, I can install the encoder on any of the servers, or even all four servers, and to balance encoding I will need Encoder Network https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo-Encoder-Network
