Hi.
This FMS is all well and good, but doesn't it all work a lot better when you deploy via a
streaming service provider, like Akamai, Limelight, Mirror or Vitalstream?
Simply without multiple redundant servers linked in large networks,
its impossible for a small user running FSM on a hosted server to make a professional
delivery impact on a mere budget of $995 (the cost of the software).
So why not just pay a service provider and save all the hassle. I know Adobe say their software streams
right out of the box, but isn't that all just sales BS?
Also when you ring Adobe you get caught in the Tech Support trap.
ADOBE: "If you buy the software sir, we'll give you tech support".
ME: "Yes but I want to know whether streaming myself will save me $360 a month in streaming costs
and whether streaming straight from the box is as good as my service provider?" ADOBE: "You don't have a tech support plan sir,
but you could log into one of our forums and ask someone there!" "Or you could ask an Apple Mac reseller in the UK!" ME: "but
none of the resellers know anything about FMS!"
DOES EVERYONE GET THE PICTURE!!!!!
Would love to stream my own stuff, but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of contributors here seem to have more problems than the software's perceived benefits,
is this the reality ~ a nice idea, but a load of rubbish in practice?
OR does it actually work well.
