Adobe Flash Media Server

The Adobe® Flash® Media Server family of products has become the industry-leading solution for streaming video and real-time communication. The ubiquity of the Adobe Flash Platform provides a rich viewing experience across virtually all operating systems and screens through integration with the Adobe Flash Player runtime, adopted on 98% of computer screens worldwide.

F5 provides organizations with a secure, optimized, and scalable solution for Adobe Flash Media Server deployments.

Why do I need F5 for my Flash Media Server deployment?

No matter how you deploy your Flash Media Server or which protocol you are using, F5's suite of Application Delivery Networking optimizes, secures, and ensures the timely and accurate delivery of Flash Media Server traffic. F5 can also lower costs by streamlining and centralizing management, and by eliminating the need for multiple point products.

Benefits of F5 for Adobe Flash Media Server

  • F5 can easily adapt to whichever Flash Media Server deployment scenario you choose (origin, edge/origin, RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, RTMPS), providing flexibility along with increased performance and simple scalability.
  • F5 allows your Flash Media Server to use SSL encryption (not just RTMPE encryption). By offloading SSL processing to our devices you don't just reduce SSL resource overhead on the server, you eliminate it and still maintain security for your users and content.
  • With F5 technology, a cookie is used to ensure user sessions return to appropriate Flash Media Server device, which enhances end user experience and satisfaction while allowing your server farm to grow as needed to satisfy demand.
