On a side note for everyone. If you were looking at putting in a Discovery Streaming Server at your district I now have a solution that is 1/2 the cost of what other districts have paid.
I can get from "Server Worlds" a 6 Tb storage shelf for $2000. Add a DL360 Server and the $600 setup fee from DEStreaming and your cost should be under $3000. This solution will house all the DEStreaming videos on your site and will allow for low-no buffering time for their High Quality videos. If your district does a lot with DEStreaming I would recommend exploring this option as it will also reduce bandwidth load on your Internet connection as well. Let me know if you have any questions. If you would like to pursue your own LocalHost box let me know and I will get an official quote, and even configure the unit for you.
