Server Sizing

[doctor2001]

Hi-

I am looking to size a server(cpu,memory,etc) and bandwidth(DSL,ADSL,T1 etc) for a streaming media server that will be able to handle approx a 7-8M file steaming 20-30 connections simultameously.

Can anyone lend their knowledge or experience

Thanks

How much bandwidth will each steam take up?

The bandwidth meter is reading about 9000 kbps

Your standard Dual Chip server with a gig or two of ram should be fine.

At 9000 kb per stream you'll need 33 Megs of bandwidth to handle all the streams.
