Calculating Your Bandwidth and Software License Needs for the Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX

Overview Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX provides a very powerful development environment that enables you to deliver compelling, interactive audio and video applications. These applications can be as simple as a one-to-many streamed video or as complex as a many-to-many video conferencing system. Because of this, determining the number of users that can effectively use your application, how much bandwidth you will need, what software licenses this equates to, and how much server hardware you should buy may not be apparently straight forward. This whitepaper is designed to address these specific issues and help you determine the amount of software and hardware you will need for your situation.
