The trend toward media content hosting is seeing a significant growth as more rich media is used in the enterprise environment and as it becomes mission critical for businesses. A shared media hosting service supports the illusion that each hosted service has its own media server, when, in reality, multiple "Logical hosts" may share one physical host.
