hi guys, wondering if someone know which kind of resources and hosting type do you need to serve 10000 videos at the same time. I need to know if this can hog a server o i have to look for a cloud with how many memory, cpu, etc.? Is not streaming video, the idea is have a frontpage made in a cms and insert the videos hosted somewhere else like a cloud hosting a dedi, etc, but im unsure if serving that amount need a lot of resources (cpu, memory) or is only BW stuff? Thanx in advance!
I would say at least a couple dedicated servers. Going to take a lot of disk space and bandwidth. CPU will definitely be an issue as well, if you're doing anything like converting the videos to .flv, a different resolution, etc.
you could probably fit this into one big server if the videos are small and heavilly compressed. Again, it all depends on what kind of content you will be using! Can you give us a bit more information ?
