How to backup Push Publishing Server

Dear everyone,

I want to use a Wowza Server to publish live streams to a CDN by Push Publishing module.

How can I backup the published live streams for the case my Wowza Server is down?

Maybe another Wowza Server automatically publish stream rather it as a backup server?

Thank you.

Hi,

Multiple CDNs have a primary and a backup server you can use to publish your streams.

In your particular case, you can have one Wowza server push a stream to the primary entry point, and the second Wowza server (backup server) publish the same stream to the CDN backup entry point. In this case, if your primary push publishing server would fail, the CDN can switch to the backup stream being published to the backup entry point.
