Icecast - Feb 2011 - Help for 5000 clients server + 50 sources

Hi, i need a server for 5000 clients and 50 sources at the same time

Can you help me to choose the right server?

I was thinking this one

PowerEdge R710
n.2 x Intel Xeon E5502 (1,86GHz, cache 4MB, 4,86 GT/s QPI)
2GB Memory for 1CPU (2x1GB Single Rank UDIMMs) 1066MHz 2 X 146GB SAS
15.000rpm 3,5" hd hot-plug PERC 6/i RAID controller 256MB PCIe 2x4
1 gbit network card

Thanks

Hi Owl.

So are you saying you actually want 5,000 clients to 
connect to your own-built server, with 50 output streams?

Do you have enough internet bandwidth to support all these 
clients?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

Assuming you can push the network traffic out, any modern server should be fine.

Whether you can handle this much network traffic will depend on what
bitrate you're running your streams at, and what sort of outbound
internet connectivity you have.

Take the maximum number of listeners you want, multiply that by the bitrate
you'll be streaming it, and you'll have an idea what you peak bandwidth
could be.

I have a server with hundreds of sources and nearly 1000 outgoing
connections. It;s rock steady. You don't need a power house. You're
dealing
with intense network throughput, but not so much memory or CPU utilization.
