    HI:

         Now ,I think most of the server hardware are enough powerfull.

         When I use FMS for Live And Vod service ,I found the server Bandwidth is the pivotal condition , the cpu and memory mostly has a low level.

         So , you can calculate your user num per server by your stream service bits.

    Hi,

    The number of concurrent users really depends on your setup.

    "I’ve received a lot of requests lately about how much media can be delivered through Flash Media Server (FMS). As you may or may not know, FMS is held to the same limitations as most other streaming or HTTP servers, that is the available bandwidth, disk speed, memory and CPU power on a single server. When we introduced Flash Media Server 3 we increased the performance significantly to allow you to take full advantage of hardware and ultimately help to reduce the total cost of ownership. ........... read on"
