250,000 can now use Zoom simultaneously

This is a very high pressure on Sunet’s network and services since the government made recommendations that teaching should take place at a distance. Something that is especially noticeable on Sunet’s e-meetings service, Zoom. At this point, 250,000 simultaneous users in the Nordic region can meet in Zoom. The previous expansion last week was not enough for the transition to more distance education and meetings. Other educational support services, such as Sunet Play, for example, are used significantly more than otherwise, have had some disruptions but have now gained capacity. The use of the service has gone up 700% compared to before covid-19.
