Hello,
I’m looking for a dedicated right now and i have a few question about the dedi i found below:
> Windows Server 2008
>
> Single E5-2620
>
> 16GB RAM
>
> 2 x 1TB HDD
>
> 100TB Bandwidth
>
> 2Gbit/s
>
> the bitrate of each live stream would be 1.6Mbps,
>
> i wanted to ask how many publishers could live stream at the same time with Single E5-2620 CPU? i didn’t manage to find any answer for that on the forums.
>
> also, will the 100TB/month would be enough for me?
>
> Thanks

Hi,
It’s difficult to give a reasonable answer to maximum numbers of publishers as there are so many variables involved - particularly around the areas of publish formats, bitrate, transoding etc. Our [FAQ](https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/faq) covers some of these points.
If you are a registered user you can apply for access to our [Load Testing tool](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-flash-rtmp-load-test-tool). This [document](https://www.wowza.com/resources/LoadTestingTool.pdf) explains how it is used. The current version works by you setting up a number of published streams and then creating “workers” via the tool to load test it.
