During last few years iDeveloperNetwork have got significant experience with Macromedia technologies including Flash Media Server (Macromedia FMS) and Flash Communication Server (FCS).

Macromedia Flash Media Server (formerly known as Flash Communication Server) makes development of multiplayer environments such as games, realtime auctions and video/audio/text chats much easier and faster then using other technologies. Easy integration with Macromedia Flash Player makes it possible to create animated interactive websites with very good turnaround times.

The licensing conditions are quite flexible, including the opportunity of having shared hosting with Flash Media Server support. Shared hosting is very useful when no huge load is expected, for example it is good cost-effective solution for development process, or for prototyping purposes when a startup company looks for investments and creates fully functional prototype for demonstrations.

We provide to our custromers full development cycle using Macromedia FMS incl architecture creating, design and development. iDeveloperNetwork has several Flash designers and developers with several years of commercial programming experience. We will be glad to help you in your development needs. If you have any questions regarding company experience in Macromedia Flash Media Server please contact us.

Below you can find some cases where Flash Media Server can be used:

Macromedia Flash Media Server (FMS) or Flash Communication Server makes it possible to organize “chat rooms” where users may talk to each other including video and audio. You may make records to prevent abuse. Using Macromedia Flash Player makes implementation of video and audio transmission very easy, and using Flash Media Server as a relay for audio-video streams, 100% connectivity between users is guaranteed.

The server must have very good internet connection because each video stream is going through the server. This problem have 2 solutions:
1. Number of ISPs provide Committed Information Rate (CIR) connections with guaranteed speed of 10 Mbps 2. It is very easy to add new servers to your system and implement balance loading to allow more users to participate.

It is quite easy to organize broadcasting for online training and education purposes Although it requires significant connection speed from both users and server, still there are ways of traffic optimization using “Push to talk” and other video/audio transmission policies.

Having tools for integration between Flash Media Server and other web development environments (PHP, JSP, .NET), it makes it easy to schedule events and track participants.

Usage of Macromedia Flash Player as the only requirement to user’s PC gives additional advantage, because no installation is required in most cases, and users are not threatened by SpyWare and Viruses.
