2. 모바일 디바이스에 스트리밍 된다. 애플 iOS 와 안드로이드 포함해서..

3. AVC 비디오도 스트리밍된다. WMS 는 안된다.

4. 여러개의 미디어 서버를 통해서 실시간 스트리밍 할 수 있다. WMS 는 단일 스트리밍 서버로 제한

4 Why migrate from Windows Media Services to IIS Media Services?

If you are currently using Windows Media Services, migrating to IIS Media Services offers the following advantages:

• The Smooth Streaming format. Smooth Streaming is a form of adaptive streaming over HTTP that stores video on disk as a single full-length file per encoded bit rate, but creates file chunks virtually upon client request. Because the chunks are sent as standalone files, they are fully cacheable via local network HTTP caching or with a downstream CDN (Content Delivery Network). The single file approach combined with dynamic chunking offers both significant adaptive performance and file-management benefits.
• IIS Media Services can stream to mobile devices, including Apple and Android clients.
• IIS Media Services can stream AVC video in ISO Media files to clients, including Silverlight. (Windows Media Services cannot stream AVC video in ISO Media File Format).
• IIS Media Services can push a live stream from an encoder to multiple downstream media servers. IIS Media Services 4.1 has the ability to pull or push from an upstream server to a downstream server. With Windows Media Services, you are limited to a single downstream server.
• IIS Media Services is supported on Windows Server 2012, while Windows Media Services is not. Take this into consideration when migrating to Windows Server 2012.
