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: a platform designed for hybrid deployment
Zoom Node is a central hub for hosting Zoom workloads — or modules — that provide Zoom functionalities, such as meetings or calling. It’s optimized to help address customer requirements in the areas of compliance, security, survivability and bandwidth optimization. Zoom Node and the service modules it supports are deployed on premises but managed from the Zoom cloud, effectively extending Zoom cloud functionality to customer data centers.

Turn-key hardened appliance architecture with bundled OS, managed by Zoom
-
Unified management via the Zoom web portal and Zoom Node dashboard
-
Managed automatic updates and patching
-
Integrated cloud-based alerting and logging
-
Full audit-logging of all administrative activities

Why use Zoom Node?
Zoom Node modules
Service modules are service-specific Zoom workloads such as Zoom Meeting or Zoom Team Chat, that run on Zoom Node locally. These service modules are managed through the Zoom Web portal. Each Zoom Node is capable of supporting up to four service modules.
Zoom Phone Local Survivability
The Zoom Phone Local Survivability (ZPLS) module allows organizations to maintain certain Zoom Phone services within the organization even if internet connectivity is lost.
The Zoom Phone Local Survivability module capacity limits are as follows (dependent on hardware configuration):
-
Internal Extension Dialing
-
Contact Search/Dialing
-
Dial From Call History
-
Hold/Resume Call
-
DTMF
-
Blind/Consult Transfer
-
Ad hoc 3-Party Conference
-

-
Inbound/Outbound PSTN calling support (requires SBC)
-
Call Park
Zoom Meetings Hybrid
Zoom Node Meetings Hybrid is a service module that enables you to keep meeting media within your premises for compliance, enhanced security and improved bandwidth utilization. The module allows media to cascade to the Zoom cloud to accommodate external guests and provide additional capacity as required. The Zoom Meetings Hybrid module also provides security demarcation for network edge proxy capability allowing organizations to reduce the number of network ingress and egress points.
