We’ve just moved our Wowza Application to an Amazon Small AMI of Wowza and the performance is incredible compared to the Video Whisper servers… Has anybody had experience with Video Whisper’s servers? They claim 1000 Mbps but they just seem so slow compared to Amazon.

The app involved 2 webcam streams and a fair bit of remote Calls to move objects around and share other properties.

Any thoughts are most appreciated.
