Operating System
The chosen operating system for the Wowza Server is Debian 8 64-bit, Codename Jessie. The reason this was chosen was because Linux, overall, is a more stable webserver environment. It is also free compared to RedHat and Windows IIS. Due to it's open-sourced nature, support is only as good as your troubleshooting and Googling.

Wowza Software
The streaming software we use is called Wowza Streaming Engine. The control panel backend is called Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. Users use the WSE Manager to administer common Wowza settings. Below we will go over the basics of starting, stopping the Wowza Service, Upgrading, and troubleshooting streams.
