ZNode

Your organization's private communication node.

ZNode is sovereign workspace infrastructure for teams that need secure communication, meetings, files, client access and governance under their own operational control.

Built by Zetako, ZNode combines messaging, group spaces, video meetings, workspace files, calendar flows, guest access, admin policies, audit logs and compliance-ready controls in one private deployment model.

Private communication

Messaging, files, audio, video and group spaces.

Controlled meetings

Instant and scheduled meetings with internal and external invitations.

Workspace files

User workspaces, shared files and controlled downloads.

Governance layer

Roles, policies, audit logs, security controls and admin visibility.

Why ZNode exists

Communication infrastructure should not be invisible.

Most organizations rely on external platforms for their most sensitive daily work: internal messages, client conversations, meetings, files, invitations, calendar links and compliance evidence.

ZNode exists for organizations that need a controlled alternative: a private communication node where access, identity, storage, meetings, audit trails and operational rules remain visible and governable.

Product pillars

One node for communication, collaboration and control.

ZNode is not only a place to talk. It combines communication, meetings, workspace files and operational governance in one controlled deployment.

Communication

Secure daily communication.

ZNode supports private conversations, role-based visibility, group chats, shared images, files, audio messages and audio/video calls.

Designed for internal teams and controlled external communication.

  • Private messaging
  • Group chats
  • File and image sharing
  • Audio messages
  • Audio and video calls
  • Conversation history and notifications

Meetings

Meetings with controlled access.

Create instant meetings, schedule future sessions, invite internal users or external guests, send email invitations, generate guest links and provide calendar files.

Planned meetings can use a waiting-room flow before opening, avoiding uncontrolled live rooms before the meeting window.

  • Instant meetings
  • Scheduled meetings
  • Internal invitations
  • External guest links
  • Email invitations
  • .ics calendar files
  • Add to Calendar support
  • Private calendar feed

Workspace

Files where the work happens.

Users can upload, organize, share and download files according to their role and permissions.

ZNode brings communication and file context together instead of scattering sensitive material across disconnected tools.

  • User workspace
  • File upload
  • File organization
  • Shared files by permission
  • Controlled downloads
  • Workspace calendar where enabled

Governance

Governance built into the workspace.

ZNode includes roles, admin controls, policies, security views, audit logs, backups, branding, delegated admin access and system diagnostics.

The workspace is not only usable. It is governable.

  • Client / Member / Operator / Admin roles
  • Policies
  • Audit logs
  • Security sessions
  • Delegated panel access
  • Backups
  • Branding and themes
  • Diagnostics

Controlled external collaboration

External collaboration without exposing the internal workspace.

ZNode separates internal users from external clients. Clients can communicate with authorized Operators, send messages, images and files, join invited meetings and use audio/video calls without seeing members, admins, internal panels, full workspace or calendar areas.

Client role

A restricted role for external communication.

Operator bridge

Operators manage client conversations and meeting invitations.

Guest links

External guests can join meetings through controlled links.

No internal exposure

Clients do not see members, admins or internal admin panels.

Admin command center

Operate the node, not just the app.

ZNode gives administrators a command layer for users, access, communication, policies, security, audit logs, system health, backups, branding and diagnostics.

Users & roles

Create users, invite members and clients, manage Client, Member, Operator and Admin roles.

Access delegation

Grant specific admin panel access to Operators or selected users, then revoke precisely.

Security

View sessions, terminate access, manage login tokens, IP rules and role enforcement.

Audit logs

Track sensitive events, admin actions, configuration changes, invitations, meetings, backups and pruning.

System & backups

Monitor runtime state, local backups, remote SSH backups, mounted volume/NAS backups and storage reconciliation.

Branding & settings

Configure company themes, logos, email delivery, meeting defaults, media policy, integrations and secrets.

Compliance-ready workflows

Built to produce evidence when control matters.

ZNode is designed for organizations that need visibility over sensitive collaboration: who had access, what was changed, which meetings occurred, which invitations were sent, which exports or backups were triggered and which admin actions were performed.

Private deployment

A private workspace node, lightweight by design.

ZNode can be deployed as a private or self-hosted workspace infrastructure without requiring a heavy enterprise cloud stack from day one.

For small teams, pilots or controlled environments, ZNode can run on lean server infrastructure. As the organization grows, the deployment can scale storage, backups, network capacity, video/meeting resources and operational monitoring.

The result is a dedicated communication node aligned with the organization's identity and operating model, while keeping the entry point practical.

Lean entry point

Start with a lightweight private server for small teams or pilot deployments.

Scale when needed

Increase compute, storage and meeting capacity as usage grows.

Controlled operations

Keep users, files, meetings, policies, backups and audit trails under organizational control.

Lower operational overhead

Avoid unnecessary platform complexity at the first deployment stage.

Use cases

Built for teams that cannot lose control of communication.

ZNode fits workflows where communication, files, meetings and administrative evidence need to remain inside a controlled operating model.

Executive teams

Private communication, sensitive files and controlled meetings for leadership workflows.

Financial and advisory firms

Client communication, meeting invitations, file exchange and auditability without exposing internal workspaces.

Legal and compliance teams

Controlled records, admin visibility, legal hold/export readiness and evidence workflows.

Secure project teams

Group spaces, files, meetings and role-based access for confidential projects.

ZNode in numbers
