Zoom Node: Meetings Hybridpaid

A hundred employees at an all-hands is three hundred connections to the cloud. With Meetings Hybrid it is three: a node in your network distributes the media itself, and one consolidated stream goes out.

What it is

Zoom Node is Zoom's platform for your data centre: a virtual machine with a hardened operating system image that Zoom manages from the cloud and updates itself, weekly or monthly. Up to four modules are installed on one node, and Meetings Hybrid is the main one.

The module works in two modes. Hybrid: participants in the office connect to the node, it distributes audio, video and screen sharing inside the network, and one consolidated stream goes to the Zoom cloud. For a meeting of a hundred people that is three external connections instead of three hundred. Private: the meeting lives entirely on site, no media goes to the cloud at all. Internal participants connect via a private address, external ones via a public one, and cloud features such as transcription and translation are enabled optionally.

Local survivability is built into both modes: when Zoom's data centres are unreachable, meetings inside the network continue. One node holds up to 400 participants, and modules cascade for large events. Recordings of such meetings can be kept on site with the Recording Hybrid module, and legacy SIP and H.323 room systems join through CRC Hybrid.

Requirements
  • A virtual machine for the Zoom Node image in your data centre
  • A link to the Zoom cloud for management and the consolidated stream
  • Up to 400 participants per node, cascading for large meetings
  • Up to four modules on one node
  • A Meetings Hybrid module licence, paid

The cloud where it is needed, and only there

Fully cloud Zoom is convenient, but not every regulation and not every link can carry it.

The link is not saturated

Three hundred outbound streams become three. The all-hands no longer kills the internet for everyone else.

Media stays inside the perimeter

In private mode the meeting's audio and video do not leave the site. The regulator gets an answer in technology, not a promise.

An outage does not stop work

The internet goes down and meetings inside the network go on. Survivability is built into the module, not bought separately.

Capabilities

What you get from Meetings Hybrid

Modes, capacity, management, neighbouring modules

Hybrid mode

The node distributes media inside the network and keeps one consolidated connection to the cloud. Every Zoom feature is there, the link is relieved.

Private mode

The meeting entirely on site, no media in the cloud. Internal participants via a private address, external via a public one.

Cloud features by choice

In private mode transcription, translation and other cloud features can be enabled separately, if the rules allow.

Local survivability

Built into the module. When Zoom's data centres are unreachable, meetings inside the network continue and new ones are created.

Up to 400 per node

One node holds up to 400 participants at a time. For larger meetings modules cascade.

A virtual machine

Zoom Node is a VM with a hardened OS image from Zoom. The hardware is yours, the operating system and updates come from Zoom.

Updates on a schedule

Managed automatic updates weekly or monthly. The Node dashboard and the web portal show the state, with cloud alerts and logs.

Recording Hybrid

Recordings of hybrid meetings and webinars are stored locally. The module sits alongside and requires Meetings Hybrid.

Four modules per node

Meetings Hybrid, Recording Hybrid, Chat Hybrid, CRC Hybrid, Phone Local Survivability. Up to four on one node.

Licensing and availability

The module is licensed separately, paid, on a Zoom account with Node support. Virtual infrastructure for the Zoom image and account administrator rights are needed.

Scenes

Where it works

Wherever the link is narrow, the rules are strict or the internet is unreliable

01

A plant or a remote site

One link for everyone, an all-hands once a week. Hybrid mode leaves the link to the others.

02

A bank with perimeter requirements

Internal meetings in private mode: media does not leave the site. External participants join via the public address.

03

A government body

Private mode for closed meetings, hybrid for the rest. One node, two policies.

04

Healthcare

Case conferences inside the clinic's network, recording with Recording Hybrid on your own storage.

05

A region with unstable internet

Survivability keeps meetings running through outages. Employees keep working while the provider fixes the link.

06

Deployment with RightConf

Sizing the number of nodes and modules, deploying the VMs and connecting them to the account, configuring modes by group, testing survivability by cutting the link, training the administrator. Then support in Russian.

How it worked for others

An example deployment

A hospital in Bavaria

Healthcare

Doctors' video conferences had to be kept on the organization's own premises.

  • Zoom Meetings Hybrid was deployed — meeting media stayed on the hospital's premises
  • This made it possible to meet the requirements of the Bavarian privacy law
  • Administrators kept the cloud management and monitoring tools
  • Customer Managed Key further strengthened data protection

What you need for deployment

Requirements
  • A virtual machine in your data center
  • Zoom cloud access for signaling and management
  • A Zoom Node license and the Meetings Hybrid module
  • Capacity planning: about 1600 720p sessions per node
