A single server can handle only so many concurrent streams and viewers before it becomes overloaded. You can scale your server to handle increased capacity by implementing a Content Delivery Network (CDN) into the workflow to offload the viewer connections.

MediaCP is capable of deploying Nginx-Rtmp through a CDN to allow for this increased capacity and reliability.

Benefits

• Increase Viewers Capacity beyond the limitations of a single server
• Reliable Streaming – CDNs typically cache content at edges around the world which means fast and reliable acaess to the broadcast from any location in the world.

Limitations

• Connections and Statistics Information is not available from MediaCP. The information may be available from your CDN service. For this reason it is typically best suited to serve a single customer per server instance.
• It is not possible to see or limit the number of viewers on a CDN enabled stream.

Costs
