Cisco Hybrid Node

[juankcs85]

Hi Team
I have to deploy a Cisco Meeting Server 1000 Bundle with Spark Hybrid Media Node support license, as i understand this is a Cisco Hybrid Media Node to integrate on premises ToIP solution (Call manager, Unity Conn) and webex teams, Thats Correct? The documentation appears as Cisco Webex Video Mesh thats the same thing?
Thanks

Yes it has been rebranded from Hybrid Media Node to WebEx Video Mesh.  Not strictly necessary to integrate your video endpoints (expressways do this.)  Video Mesh helps reduce the internet bandwidth needs by creating an internal bridge for your on prem endpoints, with a single stream up to WebEx for each meeting.  This way you don't have an individual stream up to WebEx for each on prem endpoint.  Deploy in concert with expressway c and e for video to WebEx.  That way if the Video Mesh has an issue the sip endpoints can use the expressways to complete the calls.
