Hi there,

I'd like to known what are the hardware recommendations for the implementation of FSM 4.0 in a large company, the goal is stream live events to aprox 400-500 concurrent users. We would like to broadcast the signal in HD (H.264).

  • How much bandwidth do I need?
  • Server, Cores and Memory recommendations?

Do you think that FSM is the best software solution ?

Best Regards.

    Hi,

    Yes, the numbers i gave are the official minimum recommendations, and the configuration you mentioned is very good to support 400-500 concurrent connections. Some of the machines that we use also fall into this configuration category itself. Please go ahead and start using the hardware with FMS, and do let us know if you need any support and other help.

    Thank you !
