What should the the configuration be for a media streaming server that can service 20 simultaneous connections? I'd just like to know the follwing figures: CPU (Model and amount of cache) RAM HDD (How many HDD's and RAID configuration) -- modified at 6:58 Thursday 6th April, 2006

This severely depends on what kind of processing you are planning to do while streaming the media, and the type of media being streamed, and the type of stream you want to offer. Audio-Streaming is less demanding than Video-streaming. "Forking"-streaming is less demanding than "on-demand"-streaming. (i.e. its easier to simply forward one input to several recipients than to have a seperate input stream for each client). "passthrough"-streaming is less demanding than "postprocessing"-streaming. (i.e. if you want to alter the stream or add some DRM, its going to cost you some performance.) Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.
