Hello,

First question: You published the formula on this page [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-apple-hls-packetization-cupertinostreaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-apple-hls-packetization-cupertinostreaming) for calculating amount of memory for single stream for HLS.  
Did you mean every stream for every connected viewer? Or stream from coder to server?

I noticed that streaming with DVR takes more memory.  
How to calculate server system requirements for HLS with DVR?

My life example for future broadcast.

How much memory and HDD space I need for 1 day of such broadcasting:

14 incoming streams (480p) – 1 Mbits  
14 incoming streams (720p) – 2,5 Mbits  
with DVR for 10 hours (every day)  
Maximum connections (viewers) – 200  
Outgoing protocol – HLS

How much memory is better for these conditions? What about HDD?
