In this paper, we propose and implement a new scalable video server with distributed recording services using intelligent network attached storage based on cluster architectures. For this recording server, we propose a new distributed recording protocol. The recorder can also provide video-on-demand streaming services. With this facility, clients can access media data being recorded randomly, which are distributed on all selected storage nodes of the cluster. Compared with other recording servers, the system has better load balance performance and clients have better interactivities.
