video streaming server

[kacman64]

hey guys,

i want a server that can handle 10,000 users concurrently i have 50 tb of full hd videos can you guys recommend hardware and software for this stuff

I'm not a professional, but, I would suggest a highly multicore CPU, i.e an older Threadripper or a xeon...

Then you'd need a lot of ram and fast networking, but this is just a guess

i dont want to start a pirate streaming service iam launching a domestic platform in my area that will have community content

Doing 10,000 users concurrent is not possible with a single setup. You are going to have to set up your own content delivery network (CDN) because that amount of I/O thrashing does not exist, even with Ryzen's new monster of a CPU. You'll get many bottlenecks, from the drives, controller, and even the RAM will become a bottleneck. Look up the pain linus had with their new editing NAS server he built a month ago. You'll have a similar problem. Serving 10K people would require you to build a small data center of several servers working in parallel. And I'd expect it'll cost about 100K, or even more.

This is an unexpected task to be asked on a forum.. Anyways..

 

As your project actually is kind of the same as something i do. I will give you the basic ideas of what i am doing. First of all, when it comes to software there are way to many factors to calculate in on how they are made that is also a potentional problem here. I use a custom software that i've selv written that is placed on compute nodes behind a load balancer. Each compute node can then pull & serve clients files that are on remote storage servers. As you can see i'm kind of going back to what other people have said You need a small data senter.

 

Not sure how helpful this is.. But if you have some more specific questions about what i am doing i'm happy to give you a better explaination after actually preparing a little for it.
