I am thinking of hosting the website(done in Intraweb) on one server and serving video files from another server. As the number of video files grow I will add more web servers to do streaming. I will be using Virtual Servers for hosting the site initially. I have following questions 1. How could I run my Intraweb app on multiple web servers? 2. I am planning to embed the url of Video file (on streaming server) in the page I serve using Intraweb. I need a way of allowing only authenticated users to access the video files. How can this be achieved? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Session management in IW is strictly related to the server where it's running. So you have to use a load balancer that assign a client to the same server from his first connection to the end of session. In other way, if you cannot modify a load balancer policy, using a lot of coding, you could map YOUR (not iw...) session data to a database and recall it when a new session start from a known IP address.

How can this be achieved? You could map on a database your authenticated users and does an application that copy or produce your videos with a random directory + filename and redirect web page on it. You have to manage file/directories deletes on closing user sessions. Quote: Any other suggestions are welcome.

With a good server, I'd expect you to be able to handle upwards of 100 concurrent video streams at a time, even 24/7. Their support is excellent too.

I am thinking of hosting the website(done in Intraweb) on one server and serving video files from another server. Yes, I would probably implent the "login and accounting" server with IntraWeb. This IW server would provide the stream links, which would point to IIS servers, that would do the actual streaming.

How could I run my Intraweb app on multiple web servers? For load balancing IW applications Octagate from www.octagate.com has proven to be a very usful and stable solution. Many IntraWeb customers use that. Quote: 2. I am planning to embed the url of Video file (on streaming server) in the page I serve using Intraweb. I need a way of allowing only authenticated users to access the video files. How can this be achieved? I'd probably implement a token based system. These tokens could be the IW session ID (which is based on GUIDs, thus IW sessions IDs are unique). Put these tokens into a DB and join them with the names of the video files the user is allowed to see. Then implement a simple DB lookup using asp.net on the IIS streaming servers. In your IW app you would produce links to the videos like this: http://videos.yoursite.com/view.aspx?token=123456789&file=cool.wmv (embeded into IW flash or mov components). That view.aspx would check the db if token 123456789 is currently allowed to watch cool.wmv... -- Regards, Olaf Monien Atozed Software blogs.atozed.com/olaf Back to top Olaf Monien Guest Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 8:49 pm    Post subject: Re: Video Streaming website Hi Sandeep, Quote: What would you suggest to use for statis pages like "Home" and "About us"? I don't expect too many changes on these pages. Is Intraweb the right tool for this job or should I consider Ruby on Rails / Asp.NET? IW is for applications, and not really for static pages. You can serve pages with IW (using PageMode or just by puting HTML files into the /files directory), but I'd would rather use ASP.NET for that purpose. -- Regards, Olaf Monien Atozed Software blogs.atozed.com/olaf Back to top Sandeep Chandra Guest Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 1:34 am    Post subject: Re: Video Streaming website Hi Olaf What would you suggest to use for statis pages like "Home" and "About us"?

Regards Sandeep Back to top Loren Szendre Guest Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 3:29 am    Post subject: Re: Video Streaming website Sandeep, just because you have a few pages that do NOT change, does not mean that you should use ASP.Net. Most of my "weblications" have at least several pages that never(rarely) change, and IW has no problem serving them up in application mode. The real question is how much your site as a whole is an application. If you are way over towards the "application" side of that scale, then I have yet to see anything better than IW. Yes, visually there are a few components that need to be updated (like a tab control that actually looks like it has tabs), but handling the application framework could not be easier than in IW.
