Streaming Media Purchase Questions

Hi,
Was talking to the chat service who recommended flash media server and was pointed toward this part of the site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/
I asked about this but they sounded like we could use less than that: Flash Media Streaming Server 4
So not sure which one that would be there.


This is what we would like to do and the questions we have.
We are streaming to Ustream & have our web page at Yahoo.
We would like to stream directly to our domain
Do we need to have a steady IP?
Would we need to change the domain provider?
And which Adobe product(s) would work best?


At this time we are streaming 3 cams live 24/7 in a panoramic view example: www.deetrail.us
we have from 800 to 1000 viewers per day.
So whatever we purchase would need to be able to do that.


We have been looking into this for about a year, so far this looks the best option, and so thought we would
start looking into it further to see where to go from here. Any ideas or answers will be helpful, Thank you.

    First of extremmly sorry for delayed response - i think we missed it somehow.

    Do we need to have a steady IP?

         If you need to directly stream from your domain then you will have to have your own public ip so that you can direct your webpages to your FMS.

    Would we need to change the domain provider?

         I am not sure about that - any specific reason why you think you will need to do that.

    And which Adobe product(s) would work best?

         You are asking fro Streaming per se or other related aspects like encoders or tools for client developement

    Flash Media Streaming Server Edition should be able to do what you are looking for - if its only streaming & nothing more like chat and all. As far as capacity requirements are concerned it would depend on other factors like machine hardward,network capacity, kind of streams you are publishing.
