Abstract: A distributed stream processing system including a plurality of storage devices, at least one of which is configured to process at least one segment of a data stream, thereby producing a changed segment of the data stream, and provide output of at least the changed segment of the data stream, and a server configured to accept the output of the storage devices and combine the output into a transport stream. A method for combining a plurality of data streams including using one or more storage devices for processing at least one segment of a data stream, thereby producing a changed segment of the data stream, and providing output of at least the changed segment of the data stream, and combining the output of the storage devices into a combined data stream. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: A data streaming server, including at least one data storage device, at least one controller configured to control at least one of data transmission to- and reception from- the device, and at least one packet processor adapted to process streaming data and exchange data with the data storage device without passing the data through the controller, but while using the control by the controller.
