Is Flash Media Server 2 an actual server that you buy and install on your computer to host your flash files? I'm really confused in that the server comes packed as a piece of software~ My understanding was that servers are bought over some vender that provides internet space through their hosting machines....

Please help me understand how Flash Media Server 2 is used, not it's features, but the way to deploy it. Thanks.

    well you buy a liscense that allows you to connect a certain number of users to the server then along with your webserver you can host .swf that use the flash media server to store and share data such as variables you have defined in the .swf........remember though that you must have a very highspeed connection (T4 or higher) if you plan to have alot of users connected to the flash media server also be prepared to spend $7000 or more for a flash media server liscense make sure you read and understand the user agreement for flash media server you can download a developer edtion for free but you aren't allowed to use it for commercial purposes.
