Summary form only given. We present an implementation of a VOD (video on demand) system that addresses the problem of increasing video stream supply capabilities. To obtain fundamental video stream transfer characteristics on Ethernet, we first performed an experiment in which it became clear that bottlenecks of the CPU of a video server were the most serious. To solve this problem we implemented a distributed RAID4 (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) method video server. Distributed RAID means extending the RAID method usually applied to disks to the servers, so as to achieve improvements in performance and reliability. The great advantage of this architecture is that the linear performance improvement can be achieved by adding inexpensive servers of a diffusion model.
