Question

G'day chaps, me and my mates have purchased a copy of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition for use on our web project.  Since we will be transmitting to large amounts of users through this exceptional piece of software, we will be needing to run more than one server at once.  Before going ahead and doing anything against the policies we have decided to post here on the support forums and inquire about being able to run multiple copies of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition with one Serial KEY ( 10 x GigE dedicated servers ).  If this is not possible, how can me and my chappies load balance all the traffic through one Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition.

    Hi there bluray,

    Congrats on your FMES purchase - we really hope FMS meets all your needs.  Although you'll not be permitted by your license to use it for more than one server installation you should be aware that FMS 4 has new scalability functionality that should enable you to scale beyond what you're currently expecting.  You may want to get immediately familiar with RTMFP and peer assisted networking.   FMS has the capability to serve as your personal introducer leveraging the power of peer to peer to scale more massively than a single installation is capable of.

    Here's a little snippet about it

    Hope that helps.
