Zoom Node: Team Chat Hybridpaid

Messages, chat files, the search index and the chat database sit on your hardware, in your region, with your retention periods. Employees use ordinary Team Chat and notice no difference.

What it is

Team Chat is the whole company's correspondence, and for many regulators the question "where is it stored" is not idle. The Team Chat Hybrid module is installed on a Zoom Node in your data centre and moves chat messages, their metadata and the supporting infrastructure there: search indexing, caching and the database. Messages are localised to the regions you have configured.

For employees nothing changes: the same app, the same channels, the same search. What changes is the answer to the security team and the auditor. Retention periods are set at account and group level to match your rules, archiving and discovery run from your storage, and Information Barriers policies apply to the on-premises messages as well.

The module takes one of the node's four slots and sits alongside Meetings Hybrid: one Zoom Node covers both meeting media and messaging.

What stays with you
  • Chat messages and their metadata
  • The search index, cache and database
  • Retention periods by account and group
  • Archiving and Information Barriers policies
  • The storage region of your choice

Messaging under your rules, not someone else's

Cloud chat keeps the history where the vendor decided and for as long as the vendor decided. Hybrid keeps it where and for as long as you decided.

Data in your region

Messages and metadata in your data centre, in the configured region. The localisation requirement is closed with technology.

The retention periods are yours

At account and group level: seven years for accounting, a year for the rest. The rules and the settings agree.

The regulator sees order

Archiving, discovery and separation policies on your side. The answer to the inspector comes from your system, not from a request to the vendor.

Capabilities

What you get from Team Chat Hybrid

What is stored, how it is managed, what it connects to

Messages and metadata

The message history and its metadata in your data centre. The cloud holds no copy of the content.

Indexing and search

The search index, cache and chat database run on the node. Searching the history stays fast and local.

Storage regions

Messages are localised to the configured regions. A holding with entities in different countries can have several.

Retention periods

Your own retention periods at account and group level. Deletion by period follows your rule.

Archiving

The message archive for regulatory and industry requirements is kept from your storage.

Information Barriers

Policies that forbid communication between groups also apply to messages stored on the node.

Nothing changes for people

The same Zoom Workplace app, the same channels and search. Employees do not notice the move to hybrid storage.

One node for several jobs

The module takes one of the four Zoom Node slots. Alongside it Meetings Hybrid, CRC Hybrid or Phone Local Survivability.

Licensing and availability

The module is licensed separately, paid. A Zoom Node in the data centre, storage for the chat history and account administrator rights are needed.

Scenes

Where it works

Wherever a message is a document, not small talk

01

A bank

Employee messages kept inside the bank's perimeter for the regulated period. Discovery at the regulator's request from the bank's own system.

02

A government body

A requirement to keep official correspondence in its own data centre. Team Chat stays, the storage moves.

03

A holding in several countries

Each entity's messages in its own region. One platform, several storage locations.

04

Healthcare

Doctors' messages mentioning patients do not leave the clinic's perimeter.

05

A law firm

Retention periods by group, Information Barriers between teams, the archive in-house. The profession's requirements are met.

06

Deployment with RightConf

A scheme of storage regions and groups, sizing the storage, deploying the module, setting periods and policies together with compliance, training the administrator. Then support in Russian.

How it worked for others

An example deployment

An international bank in Turkey

Financial institution

Storage of conversation history had to be localized.

  • The Team Chat Hybrid module was deployed on Zoom Node
  • Persistent chat storage was moved inside the bank's infrastructure
  • This made it possible to meet the local regulator's requirements

What you need for deployment

Requirements
  • A virtual machine in your data center
  • A Zoom Node license and the Team Chat Hybrid module
