Abstract
The Multimedia Storage and Retrieval System described in this paper is aimed at storing and retrieving medical multimedia data such as images and videos. There are three significant problems that automatically need to be addressed: providing enough capacity to fit Terabytes of MPEG files, efficient extraction of video fragments from MPEG files and quality of service issues. We are working on two different approaches to build MMSRS. The first one, described in this article, utilizes commercial HSM software for managing the tertiary storage hardware. The second approach that we have started to investigate is an attempt to build a specialised storage management system from scratch.
