How many live streams could it produce?

Hello,

I’m looking for a dedicated right now and i have a few question about the dedi i found below:

Windows Server 2008

Single E5-2620

16GB RAM

2 x 1TB HDD

100TB Bandwidth

2Gbit/s

the bitrate of each live stream would be 1.6Mbps,

i wanted to ask how many publishers could live stream at the same time with Single E5-2620 CPU? i didn’t manage to find any answer for that on the forums.

also, will the 100TB/month would be enough for me?

Thanks

Hi,

It’s difficult to give a reasonable answer to maximum numbers of publishers as there are so many variables involved - particularly around the areas of publish formats, bitrate, transoding etc. Our FAQ covers some of these points.

If you are a registered user you can apply for access to our Load Testing tool. This document explains how it is used. The current version works by you setting up a number of published streams and then creating “workers” via the tool to load test it.
