When establishing a Zoom Node management server with the Meeting Connector module services, it is of the utmost importance to strictly stick to the suggested system setup.

This will guarantee that the server will work without any interruptions and will perform very well.

As shown in the following diagram, the default setup is intended to accommodate up to four modules that are installed on each Zoom node and up to four concurrent participants who are using Group HD (720p).

Optimizing Zoom Node Performance:

Supporting 400 Concurrent Attendees in Group HD

During the process of implementing a Zoom Node management server with the Meeting Connector module services, it is of the utmost importance to make certain that the system is able to manage the appropriate number of concurrent guests while preserving the quality of the video and audio. With the default configuration, it is possible to host an amazing 400 concurrent guests using Group HD (720p), which will provide a seamless and engaging experience for all of the participants.

To achieve this level of performance, the system must be equipped with:

• Robust VM platform (VMware ESXi 6.7+ or KVM Hypervisor)
• Powerful processor (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 or higher)
• Ample memory (16 GB or higher)
• Sufficient storage (80 GB or higher)
• High-speed network (10 Gbps NIC or higher)

Because it satisfies these requirements, the Zoom Node management server can effectively manage the audio and visual processing demands of four hundred concurrent attendees. This guarantees that every participant will have an experience that is of excellent quality and free of lag.

Scalability and Flexibility:

Supporting Up to 4 Deployed Modules per Zoom Node

Furthermore, the default configuration of the Zoom Node management server permits up to four modules to be deployed on each Zoom Node. This is in addition to the fact that it can manage a high number of concurrent guests effectively. Due to the scalability and flexibility of the system, businesses can modify their configuration to fulfill their demands and requirements.

By supporting multiple deployed modules, the Zoom Node management server can:

• Accommodate growth and changing needs within the organization
• Distribute workload across modules for improved performance
• Provide redundancy and failover capabilities for enhanced reliability

This modular design ensures that the system can grow and change alongside the company, giving a solution that is future-proof for participation in virtual meetings and collaboration.

System Requirement for Configuration item

VM Platform Requirements: To host the Zoom Node management server, you’ll need a virtual machine running on either:

• VMware ESXi 6.7 or higher
• KVM Hypervisor

These platforms provide the necessary foundation for a stable and efficient deployment.

Processor and Memory Specifications: To handle the workload of the Meeting Connector module, the VM host should be equipped with:

• Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 or higher
• 8 dedicated cores or higher
• 16 GB of memory or higher

These specifications ensure that the server can efficiently process the audio and video data for the connected attendees.

Storage and Network Requirements: In addition to processing power, the VM host should have:

• 80 GB or more of storage space
• Network Interface Card (NIC) with a speed of 10 Gbps or higher (applies to both virtual and physical NICs)

Adequate storage space is essential for storing meeting recordings and other data, while a high-speed network connection is crucial for maintaining a smooth audio and video experience for attendees.

IP Address Allocation: To facilitate communication between the Zoom Node, Meeting Connector, and external systems, you’ll need to allocate:

• 4 internal IPv4 addresses (Zoom Node and ZC will share the first, and any MMR modules deployed (minimum 1) require its unique IP address)
• Up to 3 public IPv4 addresses if external access is necessary (1 address for every deployed MMR)

Proper IP address allocation ensures that the various components can communicate effectively and securely.

Additional Network Configuration: To ensure seamless connectivity and security, the network should be configured with:

• DNS resolution for external addresses
• Firewall with 1:1 NAT from external to internal IPs and the appropriate ports open, if external access is necessary
• A firewall that allows the required destinations and ports

These network configurations are essential for enabling external access to the Zoom Node and Meeting Connector services while maintaining the security of the system. By adhering to these standard system requirements, you can ensure that your Zoom Node management server with the Meeting Connector module services is set up for optimal performance and reliability. If your deployment requires a different configuration, it’s best to open a ticket with Zoom Support for guidance and assistance.
