FMS on Mac OS X Server

[chrisbansart]

We use a big infrastructure on OS X Server, and actually we have some apps developed with FMS 2 run on a little test windows server. I hope we will be able to install FMS 3 on OS X Server to connect FMS apps to SSO, LDAP, SAN, to improve disponibility and security of services. If not, we begin to develop on RED 5 whichis available on simply tomcat server which run on OS X. But I think there are no reason that Adobe will not deliver OS X version of FMS 3 whereas a linux exists.

Can you tell us more about this support ?
Thanks a lot.

I Really wish they did have support for Mac OS X, perhaps its possible somehow, but according to current documentation even RHEL 5 is not supported but RHEL 4 is. Sure you can try to put FMS on RHEL 5 but there are no guuarantees that it will function properly, if you actually look at the specs on the flash media server page, this is only supporting Windows and RHEL 4, so ya looks like they are not adding any new additional platforms even though it would be awesome if they did add RHEL 5 and MAC OS X, who knows maybe in an update if they receive enough requests they might do it.

Another way to go is Wowza (www.wowzamedia.com). It's a commercial server and runs on OS X. The software is solid and the support is amazing.

According to Podcast Interview w/ Kevin Towes unfortunately Mac OS X does not seem to be a supported platform; he speaks only of Win and Linux.
