The guide below makes some recommendations on system specifications, please use these as
guidelines only. We assume one 1Mbps video stream with 96Kbps audio, the max viewer count is
per instance (per server).

On-Premise Installations

8GB of RAM and a SSD (Solid state drive) is recommended for larger audiences, approximate
network limitations are as below.

Add more instances or additional network interfaces as audience size increases

For encoding / transcoding HD video we recommend a 4 core 7th generation i7 CPU and 8GB ram at
minimum.

Cloud hosting installations

Hosting Examples

Digital Ocean

Digital Ocean is ideal for scenarios with low viewer counts.

All Digital Ocean instances share a 1Gbps connection to the internet, Digital Ocean recommend
consistently not exceeding 300Mbps I/O.

Add more instances as audience size increases

Amazon AWS
