Abstract
Streaming technology is currently experiencing a great progress. Faster internet more users
streaming. Streaming services that exist today there are still weaknesses in both the upload speed,
streaming speed and limited types of video extensions that can be played. To resolve these problems then
made a video streaming service based local area network with a system of cloud computing that can work
effectively in terms of upload speeds, streaming and variations in video formats. Video streaming
application is classified as a service IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service Cloud) in cloud computing. On the
use of streaming applications the user does not need to convert the video, with the purpose of uploading
process can be faster and applications can play a variety of video formats.

1. Introduction
Video streaming, information technology that can be accessed by internet users who
want information in the form of video without having to pay when viewing it. Internet users who
access it need a high-speed computer network. With the development of computer networking
technology and equipment, today's computer networks that can support streaming video can be
easily implemented and have better security levels from year to year. One of the computer
networks used is the ad hoc network that utilizes wireless computer networks on mobile
computing devices, where one computer has changed the performance of the wireless adapter
into an access point, so that other mobile computers can connect with ad hoc. With this kind of
network, streaming video can be applied even though there are still many problems in terms of
security being [1]. In addition to reliable computer network equipment, in providing video
treaming services are also needed computers that have large storage capacity, such as cloud
computing. The use of cloud computing requires software client side to control it. This software
is known as virtual mechine that virtual server/ desktop infrastructure such as server
consolidation, virtualization performance, virtual machine density (VM), total cost of ownership
(TCO), and return on investment (ROI) [2] is carefully calculated.
Cloud computing that can be used to support streaming video can be SAAS. Integration
and composition are important components in your architecture Strategies for incorporating
successful SaaS as fully participating members of the IT-centered service of your
infrastructure [3]. One of the services provided by cloud computing service providers is VM that
can be used to control the cloud used by users. VM resource allocation models that dynamically
use VM resources to meet the requirements of service-rich mobile cloud or media services [4].
Cloud computing in other form is PaaS, Google App Engine is a PaaS service provided by
Google [5] which can be used to store video data enjoyed by users through streaming.
The most inaccurate video streaming process can affect the user's convenience while
watching videos, so the service is transferred across the network by implementing local area
network services provided in cloud computing, although in other studies related to streaming is
done on multi-core platforms. Streaming on multi-core platforms has many advantages: flexible
and configurable based on the number of executing cores according to system requirements,
fault tolerant, and fitting with future process technologies [6]. So that the need and attention is
done when the streaming of a video, among others, where one of them store in the cloud, then

how to access the cloud and VM required, other than the computer network technology to send
packets of data, can use the internet, local area computer network, ad hoc and point-to-point
(P2P) networks. In P2P, the video that will be enjoyed by its users via streaming will be more
efficient if made layered [7]. So in this article we offer a different solution by utilizing a number of
PCs in the local area as a place to accommodate network video streams that can be accessed
from outside or inside the network.
2. Research Method
2.1 Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is an evolution of virtualization in the form of a service-oriented
architecture using utility computing. The workings of cloud computing is transparent, easily
accessible so that users do not need advanced knowledge and just need to know how to
access it. Cloud computing is the combined use of computing technology and the Internet in
which information is permanently stored on web hosting and temporarily stored in the user
device used. There are 5 characteristics that a system can be called cloud computing, namely:
1. Resource Pooling
2. Broad Network Access
3. Measured Service
4. Rapid Elasticity
5. Self Service
In this paper, the building cloud computing that is used to provide services with a video
playback codec which is provided on a local area network infrastructure. Codec is short for
Code-Decoder (Compressor-DE compressor) and is used to describe everything that transform
data into another form for storage or transmission, and change it back so that it can be used. In
traditional broadcasting, is in the form of physical equipment that converts analog video and
audio data into digital form for transmission. It also has the ability to convert the received digital
information back to analog form. One that is widely used codec is MPEG. There are hundreds of
codecs on the internet and all have specific functions for specific applications. Many programs
like Media Player has a feature that will automatically find a codec needed to play video or audio
that is necessary so that users do not bother to look for the codec.
Codecs that exist in cloud computing services is useful to provide convenience for the
user when performing the streaming process. Streaming is a technology to play a video file
directly or with pre-recorder of a machine server (web server). In other words, the video files are
located on a server can be directly after a request from the user, so that the process of running
applications downloaded in the form of a long time can be avoided without having to make the
first deposit. When video files on stream, will form a buffer on the client computer, and the video
data will start downloading into a buffer that has been formed on the client machine. In units of
seconds, the buffer has been filled and the video file is executed automatically by the system.
The system will read the information from the buffer and keep the process of downloading the
file, so that the process remains ongoing stream to the client computer.

2.2 Architecture Design Cloud Computing
Figure 1 shows the concept of video streaming applications are built. This application
is a web-based application and have multiple data server that serves as a repository for video.
The initial process starts from the user to upload videos on video streaming applications. The
video will be stored on the server data. Once the stored video, streaming application will
automatically call the data and then play it. Before the video plays streaming application will
seek the appropriate codec with the video so that the video can be played.
2.3 Diagram Context
Figure 2 is a diagram of a video streaming application context. In the system there are
only two entities are user and administrator. The processes are carried out against a system
that is user friendly can register members by entering identity data. To be able to upload a
video, the user must log member first by entering a username and password. After uploading
the video, the video will be rotated and displayed to the user. Processes performed by the
administrator entities are doing admin login, see the member data, video data, server data input,
data input player, remove members and delete videos.

In Figure 3, Computer named Web and Application Server is the computer where the
attached video streaming applications. A computer user is a computer used to access the
streaming video applications. Database server 1, 2, and 3 is the place where the videos
uploaded by the user are stored. These applications run on the local network/LAN. The
following table shows the IP configuration of each-each device on the topology shown in
Figure 4.
3.1.2 Configuration Data Server
Configuration data server is a way to add or connect the computer to be used as a
repository for video. All the computers used in Figure 3 using the Windows operating system.
Linking the data server with the application server can be done by making a home group on the
application server. Then the data server connected to the group home.
3.1.3 Explanation Application Streaming Video
Once the configuration is done, then the application named UFILETUBE can be used
by the user that will send video files to the cloud, and once the upload is complete, the user can
view videos from all computers connected to the cloud designed. Figure 4 is a video upload
page. Upload a video made by members by entering the name of the file and the video file.

With 12 video formats tested as shown in Table 2 with varying sizes yield different
speeds with computer network speed conditions in Table 3. As a comparison of the software
generated from this study using youtube and dailymotion produce slower speeds, Table 4. For
example, FLV video format with size 4.94 MB has access speed on applications designed and
made for this research of 23 second. This speed is greatly influenced by the condition of
computer network infrastructure that has a speed of 100MB /sec. On comparative software for
the access speed of videos with this FLV format are 699 second and 792 second on computer
networks with speed of 440 KB/sec. Based upload test, indicating that the application streaming
with local area network much faster than at youtube and dailymotion are accessible on the
internet, but variations of video format that can be uploaded less than at youtube and
dailymotion.
4. Conclusion
Computer networks in the form of local area network (LAN) can be used to cloud
computing in the form of IaaS services (Cloud Infrastructure as a Service). Applications were
made have been tested can be used for streaming by using computers in the LAN as a data
storage medium in the form of video. Streaming speed for applications more quickly than
applications that utilize the internal network at LAN speeds of 100Mb/sec. Applications can play
video without making any changes or convert video format using codecs services available on
the internet. Adding more types of codec in order to plays different types of video formats. Make
this application in order to work better on mobile devices. Increase the security level of video
streaming applications
