Sep 4, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/876120

Inventors:

Christopher J. White - Los Altos CA, US
Jerry B. Scott - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel R. Cook - San Jose CA, US
Monica I. Morogan - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 12

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes evaluating a first plurality of messages from a media server configured to receive a media stream. The first plurality of messages is indicative of an active state for the media server. The method also includes detecting an anomaly associated with a portion of the first plurality of messages. The anomaly is associated with a failure of the media server. The method can also include activating a failover media server to receive the media stream based on the anomaly, and evaluating a second plurality of messages. The second plurality of messages is indicative of a resumed active state for the media server that experienced the failure. The failover media server can be deactivated based on the resumed active state. Media metadata can be communicated from the failover media server to the media server that experienced the failure.

US Classification:

714 41, 714 411, 714 1

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes evaluating an active state of a media server configured to capture a media stream from one or more media sources. The method also includes determining a failure associated with the media server, and activating a failover media server to receive the media stream based on the failure. The method further includes replicating configuration data associated with the media server that experienced the failure. The configuration data can be provisioned in a suitable database. The failover media server is configured using the configuration data.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 15/167

US Classification:

709213, 707812, 707E17005

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a signal to record a media stream, and recording the media stream in a first file that has a preconfigured length. If the media stream being recorded exceeds the preconfigured length then a second file is used to continue recording the media stream. The second file can have the same preconfigured length as the first file. The method also includes receiving a signal to stop recording the media stream, and storing metadata associated with the media stream in a database. In specific implementations, the metadata can include a unique file name associated with the media stream, a directory name of a disk directory, a first time indicative of when the recording started, and a second time indicative of when the recording ended.
