Need an unmetered 1Gbps dedicated server for streaming
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for your help!
I have an streaming company and we're evaluating a huge project, where we'll be having about 5,000 concurrent users as average (audio at 128kbps).
So if my calculations are correct 5,000 users at 128kbps it's like 640Mbps and about 1,600TB / month
So i'm looking for a dedicated server with 1gbps unmetered and with unlimited bandwidth.
Do you guys have any recommendations for this??
Thanks a lot!0

Hello,
What software will you use to stream? What about using 3-4 servers such that you can have some fault tolerance, if you have just a single server and it goes down for any reason, all your 5,000 users will tune in elsewhere,EuroVPS VPS Hosting - Virtual Private Servers | Web Hosting | Dedicated Servers

Hello!
I'll be using shoutcast.
Yes, probably i'll need about 3 to 4 servers... but at this point i'm really concerned about the bandwidth...0

I would put 100 TB on the list. You can upgrade to an unmetered 1 Gbps port for an extra $400/mo. Base price is then $600/mo for their entry server:

Really? Did not know that. Good to know.
You might talk to Gigenet. They were running a 100 TB deal, though I'm not sure if they have an upgrade option:

I'll have a look around and see if I turn up anything else - I don't see many offers for such high bandwidth allocations.0

324tb is the Max roughly that a 1Gbps port can push.

I've never heard of these guys at all or read any reviews, but 10 Gbps is what you need:

I'm a little bit confused then...
Consider 5,000 users at 128kbps, connected 24/7.
5,000 x 128Kbps = 625Mbps so with 1Gbps you'll cover it.
But if they keep connected 24/7, then it's 1,620 TB / month.
Why do you say that a 1Gbps limit is 333 TB ?
Thanks for your help!0

OH
You didn't convert from bits to bytes.
128 * 5000 = 640000 Kbps = 640 Mbps = 80 MBps
80 * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days = 207360000 MB
Which is 207 TB0

128 Kb/s = 16 kB/s
16 kB/s = 0.125 Mb/s
0.125 Mb/s = 0.015 MB/s
0.015 MB/s x 5000 = +- 80 MB/s = 640 Mb/s & 640 Mbps... = 1 Gbps connectin must working0

You could try emailing WebNX - they have good pricing on quality hardware, though they might quote you an arm and a leg for that much bandwidth.

They resell for a number of places but from what I've read they are pretty good.

I believe Wizzsolutions utilize FDC Servers (amongst others).
When choosing a 100TB server, make sure the provider permits live streaming as you will find many do not allow this.█ SERVSTRA | THE ENTERPRISE CLOUD SERVER & DEDICATED SERVER SPECIALISTS

You dont need much cpu for shoutcast audio streaming.
We have been disappointed with FDC (and resellers) Denver performance for streaming.0

In terms of recommendations - what's your budget for this solution? What level of support do you need? Can you/your team manage the servers yourselves, or do you need some hand holding? Do you need 24/7 support? Is uptime and performance critical to the business, or can you afford to be offline for an hour or two every couple of months (ie. hosting at some of the "budget" providers)? Do you want to setup a cluster with load balancing? Etc. etc.
