Multicast support: Can we broadcast inside an enterprise

We have a need where a customer wants to broadcast the chairmans message live to their entire enterprise users (approx 10000). They have a licensed wowza enterprise license and it runs from within their Data Center. They would want to see if they can use wowza to broadcast it without scaling servers or bandwidth. I was thinking of a multicast solution. Will it work. Any pointers to it.

Wowza can push a multicast stream to a VLAN that supports it.

It saves bandwidth and processing on the server, the network takes care of replicating the stream.

You can use the Push Publish API for this set up:
