John
Thank you kindly for that informative repsonse! It really helps...I
have a small team building a Red5 app right now - and were gambling
on it being able to do the task because the app will grow bigger in
the future and FMS costs too much....and I think that red5s eventual
path will match or surpass what Adobe has to offer - and open source
will attract a larger army of developers to help each other.
I should have something to show you guys soon - I know you all like
seeing what red5 is doing - and actually - we may need your helps
here and there. I look forward to communicating with you all - and
tossing in my hands to help out here too. Hats off to open source!
regards,
Tj

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.
