Installing edge servers
Until this release of Flash Media Server, clients always connected directly to the computer
where the application was running. These applications were running locally, since their
execution occurred on the same computer that the clients were connected to. This release of
Flash Media Server introduces the concept of remote execution of applications. Flash Media
Server can now run applications locally as an origin server or remotely as edge servers. Edge
servers are not a different kind of Flash Media Server, rather, they are configured to run
applications remotely. For more information about installing edge servers, see “Setting up
origin and proxy servers” in Using Flash Media Server Edge Servers.
