You don’t need a dedicated streaming server unless you are streaming live 
content feeds.

MP4 is can be streamed as long as it has the index packet moved to the front 
of the file. (-movflags faststart)

If the file is really large / long, you would probably want to chop it up into 
fragments. (there are several movflags related to this)

Nginx with the mp4 module built in should be sufficient to stream the video.
