Question

Is Flash Media Server the software I need?

Hello!

A client needs a Flash streaming software to best serve the following:

750 Mb/s Internet bandwidth

Average 7 minutes video length

Average 1,100 video requests

3,500 video requests at peak hours

99,9% SLA

Will Flash Media Server do the job or will I need something else?

Thank you very much for any ideas.

    > 750 Mb/s Internet bandwidth

    Sure, FMS can handle 750Mbps of throughput

    > Average 7 minutes video length

    Not an issue. It doesn't matter how long the videos are (although on a 32 bit OS, the file size has a limit of 2GB)

    Average 1,100 video requests

    Assuming the server has adequate hardware and network resources, 1100 concurrent streams is realistic.

    >3,500 video requests at peak hours

    A single FMS won't handle that many concurrent streams. You'd need to distribute the load across at least two servers for that capacity.

    >99,9% SLA

    There is no SLA associated with the software. That's something your hosting provider would be responsible for, and it wouldn't apply to FMS... just to the server FMS is running on.
