What is the current plan for long-term support of large media collections and streaming requirements?  Is there an on-wiki discussion of options for sharing this problem/solution with another archive, such as IA?

As we saw when Google made a "Little Nemo" doodle and swamped the
Wikipedia article that included the "Gertie the Dinosaur" video with
pageviews, our infrastructure won't yet be able to serve the high
degree of concurrent access to a single video that you can expect
during the fundraiser. So even if we deploy TMH to the payments
cluster my recommendation is to go with the YouTube  or Vimeo solution
for now.
