What is the best way to place files for the site?

Question

Data storage

Hi all. I have such a situation, there are terabytes of videos with films, I need to broadcast all this on the site, imagine that the average attendance per day will be 2000 people. Which hosting to choose in this case and where is the best place to place these files?

Answer 1

Video hosting is the main load on the network, so consider the load (what is the average size of the video viewed by one client per day multiplied by the number multiplied by 30 - you get terabytes per month), for example, if the movie is 1.2GB and all 2k people watch one movie per day , then you need 2.4 terabytes per day, which is 27 MB per second on average (and peak ones will easily go over 100 Mbps).
Gigabit hosting without speed limits, and probably also bulletproof, what kind of terabytes of video do you have there that so many people will watch?
ps scatter videos across several weak hosting sites, this can save a lot on load balancing at peak times (duplicating the placement of popular content in advance), read a dozen other weak vps with a 100Mbps channel, a limit of 10Tbps per month and a hundred gigabytes of disk space can cost a dozen bucks each.

Answer 2

buy a dedicated server and host.
