Right,

I am going to be buying a dedicated server from kimsufi Most likely the 2XL Package.

My streamers will be using my server aswell, On weekends we will be running 3-4 streams at a time, weekdays 1-2 at a time.

Spreading all the streams out, at anyone time we will have 300 viewers.

I need to know your advice on this before i go spending money.

How do i convert my dedi into a flash media server, i need red5 or something, thats all i know so far. My streamers wil be streaming to server with FME, And i also want it coded so that my streams can only be embedded on my site.

We will be streaming at 350 kbos each

Basically i dont have a clue where to start, how long would it take me to set up etc....

In addition, what kind of server do i need, windows / linux / traffic / burstable / standard etc.. Please help me or head me into the right direction.

Thanks!

you are free to use the any of the standard servers
windows 2003, 2008 or linux rhel5.2
i would suggest you to go for flash media server rather than red5
setting up flash media server on a server would take around 15 min :)
