This is the Cloud Infrastructure that Helped Zoom Handle Millions of New Users

May. 3, 2020

Since Zoom started to gain popularity in the market, millions of unique new users came to the platform. So, to handle all these new traffic on the platform, Zoom needed an efficient cloud infrastructure. Now, whenever we (the nerds) hear cloud infrastructure, we think of Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure. However,Zoom is using Oracle’s cloud infrastructureto carry on its video conferencing services.

As per a new press released by Oracle, the cloud infrastructure of the company has “supported hundreds of thousands of concurrent Zoom meeting participants.“.

“Video communications has become an essential part of our professional and personal lives, and Zoom has led this industry’s innovation. We are proud to work with Zoom, as both their cloud infrastructure provider and as a customer, while they grow and continue to connect businesses, people and governments around the world.”, said Safia Catz, CEO of Oracle.

According to reports,Zoom chose Oracle’s cloud services because of the company’s reliability, scalability and security. Well, sure about the first two criteria, however, security is suffering for thenumerous controversies.

Now, after publishing an article on the topic, MSPoweruser.com received a message from AWS claiming that before Oracle’s cloud infrastructure, Zoom used AWS cloud services and even now, it continues to use the AWS cloud infrastructure for the majority of its calls.
