Flash Video Hosting And Extreme Http Hosting
With the arrival of the ON2 VP6 codec into the Flash Player 8, Flash now combines the advantages of a universal player with excellent video quality.
IFDNRG handle flash hosting via a cluster of load balanced HTTP servers. Using similar technology to that employed by 'YouTube', this solution works with firewalls, is scalable and is fault tolerant of any issues with a given server.
Instead of utilising regular web servers such as Apache, our platform is built on Lighttpd, a server designed and optimized for high performance environments. Lighttpd also handles file seeks seamlessly via mod_flv_streaming.
Clustered Hosting
To handle large and sustained surges of traffic IFDNRG maintains a cluster of servers. This both spreads the load across multiple machines and allows for resilience in the event of hardware failure.
Additional servers can be added to the cluster as required for scalability.
Synchronisation and statistics
Media files are automatically synchronised across the cluster and usage statistics are available aggregated or on a server by server basis. In addition to regular web traffic style statistics we also offer MRTG bandwidth graphing on each server.
Awstats is also available on each server to provide regular and accurate statistics of file hits and bandwidth summaries. Usage statistics are also fully integrated into the IFDNRG client portal, offering all traffic data in addition to disk usage and ftp upload facilities.
