The Utility Computing story: one year on.

Written by Chris Williams

I think it's been about a year that we've been using Amazon Web Service as our main servers now.  I think because I can't remember exactly!  However long we've been using it, we've used it to manage our media servers and web servers without to many problems, just the occasionally steep learning curve.

Wowza Media Server is a very nice tool, and with the use of their images on Amazon Web Services, very very fast to get additional servers up and running when you need them for as long as you need them. The documentation to set it up as an edge for Flash Media Interactive Server can be a little, err, thin at times however, and sometimes you don't have time to spend an hour going through the forums to work something out!

A coffee is always welcome, or maybe some pennies to charge the laptop.
They also pay for flowers for my wife so she doesn't hate me spending so much time on the computer...
