Streaming Server with Rackspace Cloud Files : Basic Guide

Advertisement

Streaming Server with Rackspace Cloud Files is possible by using by Akamai’s technology,Adobe’s technologies, Open Source Media Framework. Brief Walk through. The basic question, that whether there is any chance to use Rackspace Cloud Sites as Streaming Server with Icecast was asked by Stephen (of rackspacereseller.com) to us. Apparently, with a bit research it appeared it is quite impossible, it would be closer to possible if we could use git with root privilege, while forgetting about SSH access. As we wrote before, there is more possibilities with Rackspace Cloud Files rather than Cloud Sites for such innovative things as simply the backend will support more. Unfortunately the advanced documentation for Streaming Server with Rackspace Cloud Files is officially very slim as the backend technology is of Akamai not Rackspace. Akamai does have various methods to deploy a great Streaming Server, so the possibility of having a Streaming Server with Rackspace Cloud Files is not less but limited to Rackspace’s usage of plan of Akamai as client, that is unfortunately a business secret.
