Running Media Server on Windows Server 2003 |
|
|
Hello,
I want to enable all our company employees to listen to mp3 songs that the
company had purchased.
I want to place the mp3 files on Window Server 2003, and using Windows Media
Server I'd like to stream the music to the clients' machines.
How will it affect the network performance? Will it be too heavy traffic?
What is the maximum number of user that will be able to listen to the songs
without interfering to the network traffic?
What are the requirements so it will work for hundreds of users?
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.

Using a multicast stream will only use whatever bit rate your mp3 files are
encoded at, so if you have a 128k stream that’s all the bandwidth you will
use (plus some overhead). Multicasting has some limitations, primarily, your
hardware needs to support it, but it is the way to go in your situation.

You might want to check to see what the RIAA has to say about this. Seems to me
you'd need to pay royalties if you're rebroadcasting music to multiple people.

I will pay everything I need.
I just need to know if it possible or it will overload the network ...
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.

Ok put it like this...
SHOUTcast http://www.shoutcast.com
Its simple and can be made to play in media players with just a little edit
of a asx file... (txt playlist file).
Its simple and works... best as you can re/encode the mp3 file if your short
of BW. |

That obviously depends on how many clients you have requesting files.
However, you can throttle a publishing point to set a maximum amount of
bandwidth
that it is allowed to use.

How loaded will the bandwidth be? Is the network hardware will enable this
feature to run?
Do you think a company with 500 employees will be able to supply the ability
to listen to common music simultaneously?
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson
