Appling Grid Computing for Video on Demand Performance Enhancement

Abstract

Video on demand (VOD) service is widely used nowadays to watch online videos. Video on demand has evolved as a major Problem implementation for network. This research aims to design a suitable grid computing system to enhance performance of video on demand. The goal of using Grid computing system is to create the simple but large and powerful virtual computer with large collection of heterogeneous systems sharing resources. User can submit request for video to grid server without necessary knowing where it will be execute. It is the responsibility of the grid server to distribute request among several servers (clusters). The results we get optimize resource usage, load balance, and time delay for delivering video file. The MATLAB simulation program is designed to compare old server performance with Grid server performance focusing on time delay and system throughput, which decreases Video delay 60 % - 70%.
