Storage; Real-Time Access; Files - Oracle Video server Manual

Oracle Video Server (OVS)
Whenever you create a tag file for a physical content file, the tagging utility
automatically stores this information in the database:
If you as the administrator do not define additional logical content titles and clips
to customize the content your clients can request as in
request the logical content titles for individual physical content files.
Since logical content definitions are stored in a database, defining logical content
does not create new physical content files or modify existing ones.

Storage

The OVS stores physical content in the Oracle MDS (Media Data Store), a real-time
file system for storing and delivering uninterrupted video in real time. This section
describes the MDS.
The OVS optionally stores logical content in an Oracle database. For information on
how Oracle databases store data, see the Oracle Concepts manual.

Real-Time Access

The MDS can tolerate disk errors and variance in disk latency and still provide real-
time access to content. The MDS can also deliver video in real time while you are
administering the MDS.

Files

The MDS can store these types of files:
