Only Wowza Media Server 2 lets you simultaneously stream your H.264/AAC content to a variety of media clients and devices. [PERFECT FOR WORKING WITH KALTURA AND KALTURA CE]. With Wowza Server 2 you don’t have to use client-specific encoders and servers, or pre-process files for consumption by specific clients – it works with a wide range of conventional RTMP, RTSP/RTP or MPEG-TS H.264 encoders for live streaming, and for on-demand content, with standard file container formats. Now you can take your content to multiple player destinations with just a single encode.

Stream Media Directly from S3
You can use Wowza 2 for EC2 to stream media directly from Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Wowza Media Server 2 employs a read through local disk cache to improve the performance of streaming media from S3. The configuration of the caching mechanism is done automatically and is adjusted based on the AMI instance type being used (m1-small, m1-large, m1-xlarge). This feature requires that you use “Wowza Pro DevPay AMI ID v EC2 1.1.9” or greater. See the Wowza Media Server 2 for Amazon EC2 User’s Guide (below) for more information.
This document describes how to install and configure Wowza Media Server 2 on Amazon EC2. The document assumes you have signed up for Amazon EC2 and have installed the Java based command line tools. You can obtain more information about Amazon EC2 and download the command line tools and documentation by going to:

Mimocom', Inc - Notes While Building our IPtv Network 
Hiii there,
Thanks for the information. I was trying to use KCE4 with wowza media server.Earlier tried with red5 and rtmp,live streaming was great.I wanted to give wowza a try as I have heard that its faster than red5, thats good! But I had an issue.I installed it, was ok! but then I tried to do rtmp streaming and was not successful. I also created symlinks to content but that was not helpful. Can you help me with a proper guide or do you have any ref link ?
Thanks in advance
