So you need to select and setup a streaming video server, what capabilities and features should you consider? Some of the key capabilities and features to consider when selecting media servers include number of simultaneous streams, CPU processing capability, supported media formats and protocols, license fees, type of storage, and which operating systems and specific versions they can run on.

Even when you have a good understanding of some of the basic subscriber needs, other factors can influence the capability of the media server to provide adequate services. The configuration and choice of protocols can affect the performance of your media servers. Using protocols that monitor the quality of video streams can use up processing power of the servers.
