Hi all,

Have a potential requirement here to give "video on demand / streaming video" for a network of about 200 users as follows:

1: Limited number of "broadcast" channels - e.g. Sky News, BBC News 24

2: Some "video library" features - e.g. training videos

3: Some "live in house broadcasts" - e.g. Chief Exec's speeches

I have said that, realistically, we want one "receiver" permanently tuned into each brodcast channel (ie ITV Digibox on BBC News, Sky box on Sky News) etc.

I also think that the "ripping any videos to HDD and storing them on dedicated server" is a good idea.

I have the ability to roll out dedicated client software if needed, but would rather use the standard XP Media player if possible. (XP Pro will be the standard client O/S)

I have switched 100Mb / sec to desktop, with a 1Gb backbone.

... now, I could build this all myself, obviously :-)... but the hard part is that we want something with "enterprise features" like..

... automated rollout of the "video library" to remote servers in branch offices.

... automated content caching of the "live in-house broadcasts"

... possibly on-demand caching of the "external broadcasts", so that if two users in office B are watching channel x, then channel x only gets sent over the WAN once.

 

Any recommendations? ... have budget :-)

 

Mark
