RIM BlackBerry recently released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering NO COST software and CAL licenses while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and management capabilities of BlackBerry BES Server such as over-the-air synchronization and mobile availability of data and applications. But the cost cuts don't stop at free server software and CALs. You now get the ability to select the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan, saving you $10-$20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed on an Exchange or Small Business Server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a dedicated server to support up to 2,000 clients. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized businesses who until now couldn't afford connecting their workers' BlackBerry devices to the corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability features, system monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and reduces the number of supported IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS data plan clients will be required to perform the first direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry mobile messaging and organizer data experience which includes scheduling, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
