Apparently I seem to have upset one of the forum members by cluttering up his space

with rantings about FMS not being up to speed or scratch or whatever.

So i'll keep it simple. Since i'm not inexperienced in the deployment of Flash via

a streaming provider, I just want to know if other users here, find the FMS

software to be brilliant in concept and delivery. In other words are the streaming companies going to be

worried that my 1000mb of date transfer per month are going to stream just as well as the $360 a month

they would like to charge me for doing the same job?!

Sorry to any serious users if this appears to be ranting, i'm more excited than anything, I just assumed that

the streaming companies knew something I didn't, but if FMS is that good, can I deliver the same results as

per one of my sites: Domain address herewith for those who want to look:

If as Adobe say on their website, FMS streams right out of the box! then Terrrrrrriffffic!!!

Does everyone feel confident that it does do the right job?

Andrew C-B.

    Hi Andrew,

    I am not sure if i got what you were trying to ask but let me reply of whatever i understood. I am quite confident that FMS streams right out of the box but having said that you need to do some fine tuning to suit to your needs , i mean play with some configuration based on your needs. Now coming to question which is better: Having your own FMS setup or going with Streaming provider, it depends upon various factors - kind of hardware you have specially your network card capacity and also what kind of traffic you expect. Also if you expect your audience to be world wide , going with service providers , i mean big CDN's like Akamai because they have that kind of reach.

    I don't know whether i answered your question but that's what came to my mind.
