Does there are any alternatives(without Azure based for Microsoft)?

Hi Sergey,

According to our Silverlight Streaming team, the current service will be terminated once the new service is lauched.  We can easily shift to the new platform.  Third part hosting service provider or have your own host will be the alternatives.  However, currently, no specific information was exposed.   We'd better wait for the release announcement.

Best regards,

Jonathan
