Hello Design4porn
I would recommend a solution which has the following attributes:
- Quad Core Xeon 2.4Ghz
- 8G RAM
- Dual 15K RPM SAS Drives, RAID 1
- ProxyPass (or equivalent) for members area protection
- Wowza Media Server 2
- Fully Managed Support, Monitoring
- Monthly Backup
- Competitive overage rates for bursting
- JW Player commercial license
When you use Wowza (or Red5, etc) for streaming movies the disks are working harder due to all of the random access, ie the ability for surfers to jump around to different play points. I would also recommend that you stay away from most control panels, especially those that add server overhead. Having a fully managed host which can help you successfully configure, troubleshoot and pull together all of these items will pay dividends in the long run.
I would be happy to discuss this further and create a custom quote. Please feel free to email me and reference this thread and I will send over a solutions quote.
Sincerely,
Brad Mitchell
