Abstract :
A multimedia server needs to provide high bandwidth and continuous real-time delivery. We present techniques for reducing the initial latency of presentations. This is important in interactive applications such as video games and multimedia document browsing. On-disk partial data replication can significantly reduce initial latency without adversely affecting throughput
