What's the difference between mediaCLOUD and mediaSERVER

the server reaches a new low - in a good way

the mediaSERVER – an unbeatable price with a flexible licensing model.
The mediaSERVER is sold for a one time cost. In addition you will want to get the total number of licenses to accommodate your entire Digital Signage network. Each license accounts for one PC running the SignagePlayer application and powering one or more screens. The cost per license is reflective of the total number of licenses purchased at one time.

Appliance

The mediaSERVER Appliance is a small form factor Plug and Play Digital Signage server. The Appliance is pre-loaded with Windows 2016 64 bit server and license.

Managing a privately hosted mediaSERVER, delivers the a security level and independence from MediaSignage that many companies often require. And while the SaaS model is more affordable, when it comes to true ownership and management over your network, nothing beats a privately hosted mediaSERVER solution.

You get a dedicated mediaSERVER that does not share its resources (bandwidth / storage) with the rest of our worldwide user base.

The mediaSERVER Hybrid edition gives you the peace of mind you need, knowing that at anytime you can convert the Hybrid server to a truly privately hosted server.

The mediaSERVER+ edition - an open source flavour of the mediaSERVER

The mediaSERVER+ can be purchased as a private mediaSERVER or leased as a mediaSERVER Hybrid. The mediaSERVER+ is an identical product as the standard mediaSERVER versions, with one important difference, the Microsoft C# source code is exposed and entirely editable; compared to non-plus versions where the code is obfuscated.

The mediaSERVER+ adds transparency which is often required by Government agencies and large Companies, and provide the confidence level administrators often need in order to adopt 3rd party server solutions.

The mediaSERVER+ (private and hybrid) are available under a private license agreement which must be notarized by the buyer and submitted for approval to MediaSignage. Be sure to contact MediaSignage representatives for pricing and availability on mediaSERVER+ products.
