How to set up Dynamic Media On-Premises for large DAM (images and videos)

Avatar

Level 1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an AEM on-premises setup, and we have terabytes of digital assets (images and videos) stored in DAM.

I want to set up Dynamic Media (On-Premises) as a separate server so that AEM can deliver all image and video renditions dynamically.

Could you please guide me with the step-by-step process and best practices to install and configure Dynamic Media On-Premises?

Specifically, I need help with:

  • Where to get the official Dynamic Media On-Premises binaries (image-server.zip, video-server.zip, IPS-admin-tools.zip)

  • The exact pre-requisites (OS, Java, ports, hardware)

  • How to install and configure the Image Server (IPS) on a separate machine

  • How to connect AEM Author/Publish with IPS using OSGi configurations

  • How to replicate assets from DAM to the Dynamic Media server

  • How to configure Dynamic Renditions and video streaming for high-volume assets

  • Any reference documentation or real-world examples for large-scale Dynamic Media On-Premises deployments

Environment details:

  • AEM Version: 6.4.0 (On-Premises)

  • OS: Linux

  • Deployment Type: On-Premises

  • Assets Volume: around 1.5 TB (images and videos)

Any guidance, best practices, or documentation links would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Thank you,
Vikram Kumar
