If you are configuring VIDIZMO storage as your storage provider coupled with transcoding services using VIDIZMO Cloud Encoder, VIDIZMO provides an ease to its customers by automating the configuration process via VIDIZMO Setup Wizard. 


Setup Wizard allows you to initially set up your Portal's Storage Provider and Transcoder for a seamless user experience through out the application usage. It takes you through a series of easily configurable steps to help set up the system.


To learn more about Setup Wizard, see: Understanding Setup Wizard.


By default, VIDIZMO provides six different configurations for Storage and Transcoding Providers via Setup Wizard: 


Before you start 

  • You need to be an Administrator or Manager to configure VIDIZMO Storage with VIDIZMO On Cloud Encoder using Setup Wizard in a Portal. 

  • Your previous content will remain intact and will be served from your pre-configured storage provider, unless data has been migrated. In case of data migration, old content is purged based on the policy set in the portal. 

  • The number of servers in your On Premise deployment model depends on the redundancy options your organization needs to employ. 

  • As servers are deployed locally, you need to make sure you have configured VIDIZMO Application locally on your Web Server. You can choose from multiple storing options such as SAN/UNC/Local Drive. To learn more about it, see: How to Configure VIDIZMO Application locally on your web server.

  • You need to have an account on VIDIZMO Cloud Encoder service provider to configure it using Setup Wizard.
