Application of Live Video Streaming over GRID and Cloud Infrastructures

Video streaming is a very demanding application in its resources. We used a previously proposed architecture, to implement a solution that will use the GRID or a Cloud infrastructure to stream video. The goal was to create an application that will allocate resources dynamically and escalate in a manner corresponding to the demand. We developed and tested the application as a proof of concept and created a prototype implementation. This paper documents our experimental methodology and findings.
