The most popular use case for Flash Media Server is content delivery, which is primarily on-demand or live streaming. Adobe’s FVSS partners offer significant capacities and scale to allow events similar to Obama’s Inauguration or the Michael Jackson Memorial.
What in most cases these providers don’t offer is the ability to use some of the interactive features of FMIS, e.g. videochat, collaboration, etc. Interactive providers like Influxis or Uvault fill this gap.
Influxis has an interesting labs blog to showcase some of the interactive and the new FMS 3.5 features.
Here are some examples:
3D Chat using FMS
Recording FMS 3.5 with FMLE for DVR
DVR functionality with FMS 3.5 using AS 3.0 (Flash and Flex)
Dynamic Stream Switching with AS 3 (Flash and Flex)
QOS Switching
