BigBlueButton Certified Service Provider

Before you switch

Questions

The operational ones. What the product does is on the features page; how it compares is on the home page.

01

How does a migration actually run?

We stand ZcaleRight up alongside your existing setup, point one integration at it to prove the path end to end, then move the rest when you are satisfied. Your BigBlueButton servers are untouched throughout, so there is a way back at every step.

02

Where does ZcaleRight run — our infrastructure or yours?

Ours by default — we host and operate it, so you get a service rather than one more thing to run. Where your rules require the software to sit on your own infrastructure, that is fully supported too: it installs beside the BigBlueButton fleet it manages, and nothing about your meetings passes through us.

03

If we host it ourselves, what does the machine need?

A modern Linux server, and a modest one: it proxies API calls and serves an interface, so it needs far less than a BigBlueButton node. We size it with you against your peak, and it is not where your media goes.

04

Does it let us run a bigger single meeting?

No — and no load balancer does. One BigBlueButton server comfortably carries around 250 people in a single room, and ZcaleRight spreads many meetings across many servers rather than raising the ceiling on any one of them. If a single enormous room is what you need, that is a BigBlueButton tuning question, and we are glad to talk about it separately.

05

What happens to meetings that are already running when we deploy or upgrade?

They keep running. Live sessions are held on their BigBlueButton server, not on the balancer, so an upgrade window does not end anybody's class.

06

Who applies updates?

We do, as part of the agreement, at a time you choose. You are not tracking releases or scheduling your own maintenance.

07

What does support actually cover, and how fast is it?

A named team under a service level agreement, covering ZcaleRight itself and the BigBlueButton fleet behind it. Response times are written into the agreement rather than promised on a web page.

08

How is it licensed, and what happens if we stop?

It is commercial software, licensed for your deployment. If the relationship ends, your BigBlueButton servers, your recordings and your data are yours and stay where they are — they were never anywhere else.

09

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. Tell us what you run and we will set up an evaluation against your own fleet, which is the only test that tells you anything.

10

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of your fleet and whether you resell. Tell us what you run and we will quote it.

Still have a question?

Ask it directly. You will get an answer from someone who runs these clusters, not from a form.
