Breeze 5 Features coming to FCS?

Brian Lesser

2005-05-02, 5:45 pm

Hi,
Many of you will have seen the Breeze 5 announcements from Macromedia.
If you look at the description of the Breeze Communication Server 5.0:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/...eatures/server/
and scroll down you'll see sections on Edge Servers, Failover Support,
Scalability, and SSL (end-to-end encryption of all data).
Of course the meeting tools have improved too:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/...atures/meeting/
but, it sounds like there has been a lot of progress/work since the Max
Sneak Peek on the features mentioned as possibilities for FCS 2.
Cheers,
-Brian

Breeze 5 totally rocks, the team did an amazing job.

There are so many new and improved features that I highly recommend to
anyone to get themselves on a trial or attend a preso with the new Breeze.
Maybe Peldi could do a PCC on the subject?

The telephone conference feature is really cool, you can actually enter your
phone number and Breeze calls you back!

Let's hope we get many if not all of the new features in FCS 2 (which is due
to be released... when was it again? :-).

i agree!

to be honest i can't see a single feature which could be "scaled" to FCS2...
am i wrong ?
Everything is built... i can't see anything which can be provided on a
server... almost all features included could be built exactly like breeze
team did...

maybe i'm just too mestruated

Not sure what you mean by

Brian already said it, Edge Servers, Failover Support, Scalability, and SSL
would all be features that we need and want in a future FCS release.

And if you consider that Breeze is built on top of FCS then hopefully it
will not be too much of a problem to provide the features to us.
I bet the team is just having problems deciding how much they have to cut
back goodies from Breeze 5 to avoid that people on this list go and build
Breeze 6 using FCS ;-)

Dear Stefan,

problem is that "clustering" (which includes most of the things said above)
is too dependent on the software acrchitecture.
I think they want to keep FCS a streaming engine, the most flexible one...
which means that it will let yuo do virtually anything, the price to pay is
that it can't provide "useful shortcuts" to complex problems...
It's more like a low level development platform than an application server.

My english is very bad so i may not be able to explain what i'm thinking,
please try to understand

i REALLY hope you all are right... i would be the happiest developer in the
world the day i will see FCS being considered as a first class platform
which deserves to be developed.

Most ppl complains about screensharing and other features which are
missing... i don't think they will ever provide them in FCS, simply because
it's not an fcs problem!
Fcs can do "everything", i'd just like to see it do everything BETTER...
less lag, less bw usage, bettere licensing... i don't think it needs feature
more than a better performance and licensing system... but hey, this is just
my opinion
