    Overview

    Play video

    The complete Ant Media Server Enterprise, built for AWS Graviton.

    AWS Graviton delivers strong price-performance and materially lower energy consumption than comparable x86 instances. If your organisation has standardised on Graviton, your streaming server can run there too - on the same instance families, the same committed capacity, the same tooling as everything else you operate.

    Every capability of the x86 edition, compiled and tested for ARM64.

    WHERE GRAVITON FITS BEST

    Estates already standardised on ARM. Same instance families, same reserved instances and Savings Plans, same AMI pipeline, same tooling. One less exception to manage.

    Always-on, steady-state workloads. Camera aggregation, 24/7 auction rooms, continuous betting and racing feeds, always-on conferencing. Predictable load is where committed Graviton capacity pays off most.

    IP Camera Streaming 

    Edge delivery nodes in a cluster. Edges are connection-bound rather than transcode-bound, which makes them the lowest-risk place to introduce Graviton. Run Graviton edges against your existing origins.

    Scaling 

    Organisations with energy or sustainability reporting obligations. Graviton's lower power draw per unit of work is a reportable difference.

    EVERYTHING INCLUDED

    Sub-500ms WebRTC. Ingest over WebRTC, MoQ, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, WHIP, NDI and MPEG-TS. Delivery over WebRTC, MoQ, LL-HLS, HLS, CMAF, DASH, and VOD. Adaptive bitrate transcoding, live DVR, S3 recording, CloudFront integration, DRM, token authentication and.

    PRICED PER INSTANCE-HOUR

    No per-stream, per-minute or per-viewer fees. Capacity is set by the instance you choose. A 365-day contract is available - and steady-state streaming, which is what this listing suits, is predictable enough to commit.

    MIGRATING FROM X86

    Your application code does not change. Add a Graviton node to an existing cluster, verify capacity against your own traffic, move the rest when you are satisfied.

    CloudFormation 

    WHEN TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT LISTING

    If heavy adaptive bitrate transcoding is your bottleneck rather than connection count, the GPU listing will serve you better. If your platform runs on ECS or EKS, use the container listing - it runs on ARM nodes too. If you want the broadest instance selection, use Enterprise on x86.

    PROVEN IN PRODUCTION

    2,000+ companies, billions of streaming hours, 99.99% uptime SLA.

    Highlights

    • Native ARM64, built and tested for Graviton: Compiled and validated for AWS Graviton, so your streaming server runs on the same instance families, reserved capacity, and Savings Plans as everything else you operate. Same AMI pipeline, same tooling, same procurement path. Graviton also draws materially less power per unit of work, which counts if you report on energy or carbon.
    • The complete Enterprise streaming server: Everything the x86 edition delivers: sub-500ms WebRTC, ingest over RTMP(S), SRT, RTSP, WHIP, NDI, MoQ, and MPEG-TS, delivery over WebRTC, MoQ, LL-HLS, HLS, CMAF, DASH, and Zixi, adaptive bitrate transcoding, clustering, DRM, S3 recording, and stream security. The same REST and Java APIs, the same SDKs, the same dashboard, the same support, and the same SLAs.
    • Adopt it one node at a time: Your application layer stays exactly as it is - same REST API, same webhooks, same SDKs for iOS, Android, JavaScript, Flutter, React Native, and Unity. Add a Graviton edge to your existing cluster, measure it against your own traffic with the Ant Media load testing tools, and expand at whatever pace suits you.

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour for the Enterprise Edition license, billed per instance while a server runs. Each option maps to a specific AWS Graviton compute instance. Two families are offered: c6g instances and c6gd instances, which add local storage. Within each family, sizes range from large up to 12xlarge, so you scale by choosing more CPU and memory. Your rate rises as instance size grows. The license carries no fixed limit on connections or viewers; capacity depends on the instance you pick. AWS bills the underlying compute separately from this license charge.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Both families run the same Enterprise Edition license and scale by size. The c6gd instances add local NVMe storage attached to the server. Choose c6gd when your workload benefits from fast local disk, such as recording streams before moving them to remote storage. Both charge per instance per hour of uptime.
    The license charge meters running time only. You pay per instance per hour while the server runs. When you stop or power off an instance, the software license charge stops. AWS may still bill underlying storage for stopped instances. Auto-scaling can close idle instances to reduce cost during low-traffic periods.
    No. This charge covers only the Ant Media Server Enterprise Edition license, billed per instance per hour. AWS bills compute, storage, and bandwidth separately. In a cluster, a load balancer and database server are also required and are not part of this license charge.

    Remote DJ streaming has expanded event reach and has reduced travel costs for venues

    Reviewed on May 02, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    I am using Ant Media Server Enterprise for streaming live events. We are a platform where venues can book DJs for their events, and DJs can stream live from their studios to the venue. This way we are reducing the travelling hassles and cost for DJs. Also, in this way, we are reducing the physical boundaries. We have streamed a lot of events across continents.

    How has it helped my organization?

    We tried other streaming services, but Ant Media provided us with the most reliable and affordable services. We received good feedback from our customers.

    What is most valuable?

    It is easy to set up with a clean user interface. Moreover, we found the adaptive bit rate to be a very good feature, especially for areas with lower internet speeds.

    What needs improvement?

    I believe more features regarding runtime media editing can be helpful.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for two years.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We didn't use any other products.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    This is a good affordable solution.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated other options like Dolby and AWS streaming.

    What other advice do I have?

    All is good.

    Live streaming workflow has simplified setup and now streams browser-based video to multiple platforms

    Reviewed on Apr 14, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I integrated Ant Media to send data from WebRTC to Ant Media and then from Ant Media to YouTube. Ant Media serves as the connector where I send data from Ant Media to YouTube to enable live streaming through Ant Media. This was my requirement and I have integrated it properly.

    I integrated Ant Media by sending WebRTC to the Ant Media endpoint. When I create a new video, I create the project site or video name in Ant Media and simultaneously create the video name on YouTube. I use whatever Ant Media endpoint I receive from Ant Media and point it with the WebRTC. When I start the WebRTC live streaming, that command also initiates live streaming in Ant Media, and Ant Media sends all of that to YouTube. Ultimately, I am starting three live streams with the WebRTC: one from WebRTC, one from Ant Media, and one from YouTube. After starting the live streaming, the data from WebRTC is sent to Ant Media and from Ant Media to YouTube. This was the workflow I created and integrated into my project.

    The process was straightforward. I only need to use the API endpoint from Ant Media and configure it into my project. The WebRTC automatically fetches it and sends the data through the Ant Media endpoint to YouTube. It is straightforward with no complex business logic required.

    What is most valuable?

    Ant Media offers many features that depend on the version you choose. When using the beginner and professional versions, those features are related to your payment plan. When using a beginner or lower level, the features involve streaming data, FPS, data file from the image, image resolution, image quality, and other components you need to send from WebRTC to Ant Media. Those configurations are available in Ant Media and show how you want to send those media to YouTube. These are the best features, but you need to pay more to get better functionality or better resolution.

    When using a development level, such as dev, UAT, and production environments, while testing, you do not have all the features and you do not have higher quality when sending the data. When you pay more and have a paid version of Ant Media, they will provide you with the best quality for how you want to send the data to YouTube or elsewhere. This is the basic principle: when you pay more, you receive better resolution.

    Ant Media is configurable from the web using WebRTC. If I want to do a live streaming project, I would have to create a Flutter application on Android or iOS, but with Ant Media, I can integrate from the browser itself. I only have to pass the Ant Media endpoint API to a Chrome browser from WebRTC. It is easily configurable, and my organization works on live streaming projects. This is the best way to use Ant Media because you can integrate your simplest or quickest version when you have a deadline or specific live streaming needs.

    It basically saves time. Previously, we were creating our own web server and media server. We no longer need that media server and can just use Ant Media directly. There is no doubt that we are paying for Ant Media, but once you acquire users, they start using your website and start WebRTC live streaming through your application. You increase your customer base, and then you can move to a paid version. Ultimately, Ant Media saves your time, money, and the cost of buying a separate web server or media server. Instead of that investment, use Ant Media, get the endpoint, configure it, and do the live streaming.

    What needs improvement?

    Ant Media needs many improvements. Sometimes I am not getting proper video resolution, and it is lagging. Those issues need to be addressed for better resolution and better video quality.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used Ant Media from last six years.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice for others looking into using Ant Media is that if they want to make it a product, they need to buy a higher version. Otherwise, they will experience lagging issues or video quality issues. This review has received a rating of eight point nine out of ten.

    Live streaming has elevated customer-facing events and now supports more professional broadcasts

    Reviewed on Feb 17, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    I am creating a streaming service for a customer-facing product I am developing.

    How has it helped my organization?

    The feature is now more professional and feasible with Ant Media Server.

    What is most valuable?

    Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms.

    What needs improvement?

    For the auto-managed service on AWS, it would be an improvement if it auto-scaled and the launch from the marketplace function actually added to the currently running instance in a scaled manner instead of creating an isolated instance that cannot be used without CloudFormation.

    If the launch from the marketplace button is to make any sense, it should also create the CloudFormation bucket setup.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for 1 to 2 years.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I am just starting to develop the product.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Ant Media Enterprise Server gives value for money.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Wowza and Red5 Pro were contenders, but the implementation was not straightforward. Ant Media is already built on Red5 and has services from Wowza, so it became the default.

    What other advice do I have?

    The customer support for this product and service is on point.

    Secure video workflows have transformed remote financial inspections and digital verifications

    Reviewed on Jan 27, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Ant Media to power secure, real-time video communication features within our SaaS platform. Specifically, we utilize it for remote inspection and digital verification workflows in the financial and insurance sectors, where low latency and high reliability are critical.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance. Previously, balancing high-quality video with sub-second latency in a regulated environment was a major challenge. Ant Media solved this, enabling us to launch seamless remote services, like eKYC and inspections, much faster than building infrastructure from scratch.

    What is most valuable?

    Ultra-low latency WebRTC is essential for the real-time interaction nature of our products. The flexibility and integration of Ant Media were impressive, as it integrated smoothly with our existing services. The AWS Marketplace deployment option removed the heavy lifting of infrastructure setup and maintenance, allowing our team to focus on product development.

    What needs improvement?

    The documentation is generally good, but more deep-dive examples for complex, custom edge-case configurations would be helpful for advanced developers.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used this solution for 3 years.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We switched because previous solutions, which were open source based, could not match the stability and latency performance required for enterprise-grade SLAs.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing is very competitive, especially considering the reduction in DevOps overhead. Using the AWS Marketplace version provides excellent value for the ease of scaling and management it offers.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated open-source alternatives like Janus and Jitsi. We ultimately chose Ant Media because its WebRTC technology was superior, and it offered the enterprise readiness and support that open-source projects lacked.

    What other advice do I have?

    If you are in a regulated industry such as Finance or Insurance and need a secure, scalable, and ultra-fast streaming solution, Ant Media is the right choice. It is reliable, flexible, and the support team is responsive.

    Integration into our medical video conferencing is smooth with continuous development and excellent support

    Reviewed on Jul 24, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    I use the solution for video conferencing in a medical setting.

    How has it helped my organization?

    AMS allowed us to integrate a streaming platform into our solution fairly easily, with great support from a very accessible developer and company.

    What is most valuable?

    It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent. The platform is also under continuous development.

    What needs improvement?

    For our use case, it is pretty good in its current form. However, the update process on AWS could be a little more streamlined. Even so, it is always done quickly, has never failed, and includes good follow-up from the company.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for 2 years.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not use any previous solutions before this.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing of the product itself is more than fair. The total costs depend more on the AWS configuration. AMS does not require much in terms of the machine it runs on.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I evaluated various solutions before deciding on AMS, including options from both smaller suppliers and big tech companies.

    What other advice do I have?

    I have no additional advice to share.
