FMS a Necessity

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if a FMS is a necessity when building a youtube style website. We have a progressive download flv player but may have an increase of visitors with a new video project of up to around 10000-20000 visits per day and wondering if the use of FMS would be of benefit for this number of visitors for an FLV player?

Cheers

    FMS is not a requirement for a youtube sort of site (youtube uses progressive download). Given the traffic you're expecting, using FMS might blow your cost model out of the water as well (you're looking at a large investment in FMS licenses to handle the traffic you're anticipating)).

    Are you just delivering video, or do you need to manage other data as well?
