Hybrid deployment, the Zoom way

Zoom’s cloud hybrid strategy has arrived, extending the Zoom cloud to enterprise infrastructure and helping to unify existing and future Zoom hybrid solutions for standardized deployment and operation.

Introducing Zoom Node

Introducing Zoom Node: a platform designed for hybrid deployment.

Zoom Node is a central hub for hosting workflows — or modules — that support Zoom enterprise functionalities, such as hybrid meetings. It’s optimized to help address customer on-prem deployment requirements like bandwidth optimization. Zoom Node and the modules it supports are managed from the Zoom cloud, effectively extending Zoom cloud functionality to customer data centers.

Zoom Node Modules

Modules are service-specific software that run on Zoom Node. These service modules enable certain Zoom Service functionality, and are managed through the Zoom Web portal. Each Zoom Node is capable of supporting up to four service modules.
