Overview
The purpose of this appendix is to show different streaming solutions
based primarily on Envivio 4Caster and 4Sight.
The configuration you choose will depend on whether you are streaming
content to the Internet or on a LAN network (or both), the number of
clients you want to reach, and your hardware configuration. The situation
will be different if you want to stream MPEG-4 files to 100 clients or to
50,000 clients. It will also be different if you want to stream at the same
time on a LAN and on the internet. Moreover, the considered solutions
will depend on your software/hardware configuration. Is a commercial
load-balancing solution necessary for your needs? How should you use
4Sight? How many machines with what sort of performance? These are
the questions we would like to clarify in this appendix.
