I am about to design a video conversion service, that is scalable on the conversion side.
The architecture is as follows:
- Webpage for video upload
- When done, a message gets sent out to one of several resizing servers
- The server locates the video, saves it on disk, and converts it to several formats and resolutions
- The resizing server uploads the output to a content server, and messages back that the conversion is done.
Messaging is something I have covered, but right now I am transferring via FTP, and wonder if there is a better way? is there something faster, or more reliable? All the servers will be sitting in the same gigabit switch or neighboring switch, so fast transfer is expected.
