I was sharing with SWUG just last week about delivering videos using Windows Server 2008. I was very surprised to learn that many do not know that Windows Server has the ability to deliver videos.
I have shared many examples of local deployment of Windows Server 2008 to host video files.
This short presentation (about 1 hr), I shared about using Windows Server 2008, loaded with Streaming Media Services and using IIS Smooth media streaming. The session included an overview and also how to setup. It look merely 15 mins to setup both up on the same server. 😉
Easy and fast. Of course, there are a lot more.
Anyway, i am sharing my deck of slides used during the session.
Feel free to see this video (Example of IIS 7 + Smooth Media Streaming): http://fab.pingdennis.com This is a demo site i use to show IIS7, so might be up or down. 🙂
