How will Cisco package Flash Media Server with its solutions?
Every Cisco CDS-IS application will ship with a base level of streaming video to Flash, enabling up to or the lesser of 200 simultaneous Flash video streams or 200Mbps of bandwidth. Customers can purchase a premium Flash upgrade license from Cisco for additional streaming needs. The premium upgrade can be purchased at the time of the initial purchase of CDS-IS or at a later date. These licenses are perpetual in nature and can not be used in multitenancy scenarios. As an alternative to the base level and premium upgrade, Cisco customers also have the option of purchasing a Wholesale License of CDS-IS that would allow them to make CDS-IS available to their end user customers on a wholesale basis or multitenancy basis. These licenses are term based (for example, valid for one year). At the end of the license term, the customer will need to renew the capability by repurchasing the license based on the streaming bandwidth needs or else discontinue use of the solution.
