Thats a great question, but I don't know if anyone really has the answer. I think the mystery to me is Wowza. I met them at FF in Austin (nice guys) and they only had VOD working, but I know they've progressed way beyond that and are now a java implementation as well. At the time I met them, they were .Net if I recall correctly.
FMS is a proven product and works well. It also has support of Adobe behind it and offers server features (Origin/Edge) that Red5 doesn't do yet (things like redundancy/fail over/load balancing etc). Red5 does all of main things that FMS does, and it also does AMF3 now - so you can use it with Flex2 applications. Its Java based, runs very well, but we're still in beta at v0.6rc3 and are only now seeing any real stress tests. It's still unproven, and we have alot of confidence it'll do very well compared to Wowza and FMS. Being that Red5 is Java based, there are many many options to bend it to your needs. And I know I'm really trivializing the uses by just mentioning flash based solutions. Fact is, you could use it for a great many server needs. I assume Wowza will also provide support at some level and that's attractive to many clients. Red5 fills the Open Source gap for those who need/want that. I hope that helps, it's kinda the "Marketing" answer rather than a meaty technical answer, but it basically covers the bases of who does what. :) John On 4/14/07, Thomas Marbois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi I was wondering what the general consensus is so far in the abilities vs performance on Wowza, FMS, vs red5? What are the current benefits of each? What specific feature sets the bar for the others? etc....Im having something built now - using red5 - but I want to know what we might be waiting for in terms of features and/or what we might need that works already in the other servers... best regards, Tj _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
