Organizations are building high-capacity servers and server clusters to serve the increasing demand for streaming media. Before these systems are put into production, the servers should be load-tested with Microsoft Windows Media Load Simulator version 4.0 to determine how many users can be served and to verify system stability. Windows Media Load Simulator creates a real-world load on a server by simulating Microsoft Windows Media Player connections; the load-test results on the server can be viewed in a log. Windows Media Load Simulator is designed to run on one or more client computers to simulate a large number of client requests. If you cluster your Windows Media servers for greater scalability and availability, then Windows Media Load Simulator should be run against each individual server in the cluster.
