Robustness
DMSs are the backbone for connected media home networks. If users cannot access their content, the system fails. Microsoft We have defined the minimum requirements for the robustness of a DMS. A DMS device must be able to stream the supported media files continuously for 24 hours without requiring user intervention or degradation of quality of experience (NETMEDIA-0047). The DMS device should be able to stream for much longer periods of time, and future requirements will dictate that.
A DMS must be able to stream HD content. Although this requirement may be taxing to mobile devices, the reality is that more content is moving to HD (NETMEDIA-0053).
A good digital media server should be able to source at least 10 connections at the same time. The Windows 7 Logo Program requires that the server support at least two concurrent connections. This is especially important as users play content and download album art and other metadata at the same time (NETMEDIA-0054)
