the server is a bit of a beast:
Intel Server motherboard S5000PSL INTEL BX80574E5420A E5420 2.5Ghz quadcore x2
6x 4gb Kingston DDR2 667 fully buffered
2x SSD disk Intel 40GB for system
24 x Western Digital Raid Edition 4 2TB ADAPTEC 3805 up to 256 disk Raid 1 hardware
Of course, wowza is running on SSDs, streaming content from 24TB array, so the SSDs surely help here.
--edit here it is:
Code:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2035 wowza 21 0 12.6g 721m 10m S 46.1 3.0 743:32.47 java

Unless they changed something in wowza, it feeds the content off the folder you tell it.. it doesn't care its on SSD it cares where the content is, i don't recall any sort of buffering/caching system to place this on ssd from other content.
Not trying to bash things but if your using 24tb servers for streaming content, your doing it wrong.
