As we all know, video applications have high requirements for servers, especially for online playback of video websites. In order to satisfy a large number of users to watch videos online at the same time, and to drag the progress bar to play smoothly, the server configuration and bandwidth will be almost demanding. What should be considered for the server when doing video websites? Today, Micron Network will take you to understand.
Requirements for server hardware configuration for online playing of video websites
Long term high concurrency is a main feature of streaming media applications. In fact, every online customer will occupy server resources for a long time. In order for the server to have enough capacity to handle high concurrency for a long time, it is necessary to select more cores, CPUs with high frequency, and enough memory and hard disk read/write capacity. In addition, video websites also need enough hard disk space to store a large number of video resources. A mature online video player website has very high requirements for server hardware configuration.
Large bandwidth is preferred
Anyone who understands video applications knows that the bandwidth of video websites is the most important. Online video broadcast websites generate huge traffic every day, and each user needs to occupy a large amount of bandwidth. If the bandwidth is not enough, users will be stuck playing, or even the website will crash and be disconnected. In addition, excessive bandwidth will cause high cost waste. After all, bandwidth is the biggest expense of video applications. How to reasonably select server bandwidth? The bandwidth required for a single user to load video is estimated based on the video bit rate, and is multiplied by the number of users loading video to obtain the theoretical required server bandwidth. Please note that we are talking about the number of users that colleagues load videos, not every online user will load videos.
Reasonable application of CDN acceleration technology in video websites
After the calculation, some people may have some questions. Every user of a video website needs so much bandwidth and hardware resources. What should so many users do in the future? For example, how high do large video websites such as iQIYI and Youku need server configuration? With the increase in the number of users of video websites, the configuration of a single server cannot fully meet the needs of users. At this time, multiple servers need to work together, usually using CDN technology. By placing the node server in different locations, users can get the content they want directly from the nearest server. This not only reduces the pressure on a single server, but also improves the loading speed of the site by using the principle of nearby transmission.
