Design Windows Media Services Infrastructure
Module 7: Design Windows Media Services Infrastructure
• Design Windows Media Services for live streaming
• Windows Media Services for on-demand content
• Improving performance for on-demand content
• Monitoring Windows Media Services
Lesson 1: Design Windows Media Services for Live Streaming
• Overview Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2008
• Standard edition vs. Enterprise edition
• Backwards compatibility with Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2003
• Live streaming capabilities
• Planning for multi site deployments
Overview of Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2008
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Server
File Server
Remote WMSDistribution Server
Encoder
Video Source
WMS Cache/Proxy plug-in Server Core
NDIS 6 network offloading Encoder failover
64 bit support
Standard edition vs. Enterprise edition
Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition includes
Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition includes
• Multicast capability
• IGMPv3 support
• Caching and multi-tasking (play while archiving)
• Advanced FF/RW support
Backwards compatibility with Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2003
• Full compatibility with existing content and streams
• WMS for Windows Server 2008 requires Server 2008
• If upgrading an existing installation, modify registry
Live streaming capabilities
Scenario Origin
Intranet (some data loss acceptable)
WMS 9 or later via UDP Rtsp://server/publishing_point
Intranet (no data loss acceptable)
WMS 9 or later via TCP Rtspt://server/publishing_point
Servers separated by firewall
WMS 9 or later via httphttp://server/publishing_point
Rebroadcast multicast stream to unicast network segment
WMS 9 or later via MCastMCast://%systemdrive%\Wmpub\Wmroot\file.nsc
HTTP and MCast can also be used to connect to Media Services 4.1.
Planning for multi site deployments
Required Network Capacity
= Content bit rate x estimated number of clients
Multicast StreamingIncreases the capacity of a stream
Enable Multiple Bit Rate to improve the performance of low bandwidth clients
Remote WMS
Use IPSec for secure transfer between sites
Lesson 2: Windows Media Services for on-demand content
• Design digital rights management
• Design content storage
Digital Rights Management
Windows Media Server
Encoder
Video Source
Real-time DRM encoding
Design content storage
Scenario Origin
File server (Share)
• Resource can run other services
• Access using publishing point computer account
Network Attached Storage(NAS)
• Dedicated appliance
• Easy to configure
Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Potentially the most expensive solution
• Higher performance with block level access
• Expandable as needed
Increase caching performance by disabling file sharing mode
Server Core installation
Services supported on Server Core
• Active Directory Domain Services
• Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server
• DNS Server
• File Services
• Print Server
• Windows Media Services
• Web Server (IIS)
• Hyper-V (Virtualization)
