    video streaming via a CDN - metrics

    Hi,

    Was wondering if anyone had any metrics handy for the pros and cons of streaming video (VOD) via a CDN. Google searches have unfortunately let me down and I really need some data for or against video streaming via a CDN.

    If anyone here does stream video via a CDN, what streaming server are you using? What CDN are you using? Do you have some test files that I could have a look at?

    Anything really in terms of views and opinions will be very handy.

    Thanks.

      Hosting companies, people using CDNs, any one who has looked into using a CDN, all your opinions and suggestion matter.

                  Hi Bill,

                  I'm not JUST looking for static file CDN, but more importantly one that allows streaming media using a media server (FMS, Wowza, Red5, etc.). I am not looking for pseudo streaming but the ability to stream VOD to PC, iOS devices and other Android and tablet devices using true streaming.

                  Is this something you offer?

                  Dimi, I'll contact you guys tomorrow for a chat.

                  Regards,
