The Flash Video On-Demand Service offers cost-effective on-demand streaming of FlashVideo (.flv). The service is interesting for companies that need to stream on-demand FlashVideo on the internet. The service is based on delivering qualitative on-demand FlashVideo streaming including extra possibilities, a high flexibility, high scalability and a good price/quality ratio. Pricing, is just like other CDN's based on a per GB-price where all services are included within the GB-price. A big difference with other CDN's is that - by combining the right soft- and hardware together - a lower price per GB is achieved than other CDN's. Also, largescale customers have a possibility of a pricing per Mbps instead of a GB-price to make it cost-effective.

The principle of the Flash Video On-Demand Service is based upon a well tested and scalable server platform, joined with a scalable network through which a fast growth is possible and can be used for large numbers of on-demand FlashVideo streaming. In the construction of the platform, the different possibilities that could be needed with on-demand streaming are taken into account. For example, an online video archive with lots of storage in which now and then a video is being watched, needs a different approach than a news portal with a few videos that are watched many times or a website that delivers long movies with a high 'jump-and-seek' value. These various differences were taken into account in construction and scalability of the service.

The network of the Flash Video On-Demand Service has a very high capacity. Constant monitoring of the network makes sure that there is a constant high uptime and is expanded in time to keep up with the constant growth in customers and streaming. Because of the way the Flash Video On-Demand Service has been created, it is possible to gain extra capacity and give markets or countries quicker and more scalable on-demand FlashVideo streaming relatively simple.

To make the on-demand streaming simple and user friendly, FlashHosting has taken care of all business that has to do with on-demand FlashVideo streaming. Those services will be arranged through a username/password secured website in the future. This makes it easy to add on-demand FlashVideo to current websites without needing a lot of knowledge or experience with implementing it. Within this website it is also possible to get detailed statistics from all available videos and the amount of datatraffic and bandwidth that has been used.

Companies that need to do on-demand FlashVideo streaming but don't want to use a website for adding and administration of content will have acces to an exensive API that will be available in the future. With this API, companies can link the Flash Video On-Demand Service with their own systems like Content Management Systems, Media Asset Systems, Redactional Systems and websites.
