server utilization profile

[floyd]

looking for typical h/w utilization profile for your streaming media server. Things of interest:
1) your type of media streaming
2) your server spec
3) business/hobby?
4) h/w utilization (CPU, memory, network utilization)

I appreciate any feed back or pointer to the right direction to obtain this kind of data.

Thanks

Hello Floyd:

Here is what I use to stream an HD video library live on the Internet:

1. Doing flash streaming - it's the most reliable option if we reffer to the video response time and not only.
2. As a server I use FMS 3.5 because of the efficient video encoding and rich interactive streaming functionality
3. I am doing this from the office to stream our video content so it's not a hobby, it's a pro activity. Here is a part of the videos encoded:

4. Here is the configuration used for streaming HD (that is a minimum required configuration): Configuration


Let me know if there are any other things I can answer for you.
