For the past few years Janet, a part of Jisc, has provided some streaming servers that are used by the National Student Television Association (NaSTA), the Student Radio Association (SRA) and for one off events such as the Royal Shakespeare Company’s recurring school streaming events. As part of a regular and ongoing review of Jisc services, we have organised two online focus groups to help us to determine wider demand for a live streaming service and to confirm what customers would expect from such a service.

At Janet, we have a set of dedicated servers that run in an Origin and Edge configuration. We have one Origin server using Transcoding licenses from Wowza which receives the incoming streams from the user. The Origin server then communicates with the three Edge servers. This configuration allows for load balancing, enabling redundancy if a connection to one of the servers is lost. It also ensures that one server is not over taxed with connections. The servers are connected to the Janet core network at multiple locations adding an additional layer of redundancy incase of power issues.

The process has started to trial the streaming servers with members from the SRA. This is taking place during July with participation with various members. The servers management works in the same sense as the NaSTA credentials, however, it has its own dedicated site for it to use. This being sra.streamingwizard.com. To be able to stream to the servers, you can follow the guide for Flash Media Live Encoder. This is will be the best to use for the trial as it is free software from Adobe.
