Sorry for my english is not good.

Thank you For Your Help !

We recommend a late model dual quad cpu, 4 - 8g ram, 1-4gbs nic, 64bit OS and 64 bit Java JDK. For heavy vod, we recommend a RAID 0 or RAID 1+0 disk array (SSD) with as many disk as neccessary.

Bandwidth is the usual limiting factor. A 1gbs nic will handle 1000 users streaming 800kbs or less. I recommend at least 2gbs nic for plenty capacity.

There is a load testing tool to help you measure server and network capacity:
