Although the VX30 Broadcast Server Software is a pure Java application and therefore is ready to be deployed on any combination of hardware and software, we recommend using SUN Microsystem's Solaris Operating System in combination with SUN x64 or SPARC servers. Sun is the leading platform when deploying mission critical multi-threaded applications such as the VX30 Video Broadcast System. With Sun you get the peace of mind knowing that you have deployed your application on a rock solid foundation.
