Uplink for peak viewing
For direct delivery, 200 viewers at 5 Mbps use about 1 Gbps before overhead. Allow headroom and confirm the available port speed for your chosen location.
Dedicated Servers for Streaming
Run a live stream, video library or media origin on dedicated hardware. Choose a port speed and server configuration for your delivery and encoding workload.
Estimate your streaming capacity
Start with peak concurrent viewers, average bitrate and the number of feeds you need to ingest, encode or store.
Compute for encoding
If you transcode on the server, account for the number of concurrent inputs and output formats. Use the core count to compare servers for that workload.
Storage for recordings
Estimate the space needed for source media, recordings and published versions. Include your retention period when comparing SSD and NVMe configurations.
A useful starting point
Choose the engine behind your streams.
Separate the work of serving, encoding and storing media. Compare physical compute, drive capacity and available port options to match your delivery plan.
