Question

Connection requirments

We have a customer that is looking to live stream events around our community.  We have done this with our windows media server in the past but he would like to have a flash based player embedded into is web page. we would also store the events so they could be played by viewers of the page. 

1) In windows media server you can set up multiple publishing points.  Can this be done with the FMS to have up to 4 live feeds?

2) He plans on having 100 to 200 people watching. What type of connection is recommended 100Mb or 1Gb dedicated?  We plan to co-locate this server in a data center located close to us.

3) People are talking about the new FMS that supports i-os devices.  has there been a release date posted for this? Price?

TIA

Josh

    1) Yes very much possible

    2) This will depend upon the bit rate of streams being published.

    3) Please monitor this link http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/  for release dates

    Thank you for the information.

    Currently events are publishedhed at 512Kb. And I am looking at buying hardware and  was trying to get a feel for how the software performed or if there was a recomended specs for the expected visitors.  I will watch the blog for the new version.

    Thank you

    For 512 kb - you would need around 100 Mbps bandwidth - but then we suggest to saturate around 70% of network capacity. Also i am not sure if you meant 200 per stream or overall - anyways it would be better if you go for 1 Gb rather than 100 Mb - i am basing on what reqs you have given me,
