RIM BlackBerry recently released BlackBerry BES Express, offering FREE software and CAL licenses while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and administration capabilities of BlackBerry Enterprise Server including over-the-air sync and mobile availability of files and applications. And the cost savings don't stop at free server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You now have the ability to choose the BIS wireless data carrier plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, saving you $10-$20 a month for each of your RIM BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, recommended for as many as 75 users, or on a stand-alone BESX server to support up to 2,000 clients. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who before now could not afford integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone integration and reduces the number of supported IT polices from 450 to 35. Also, BIS wireless data plan users will have to perform an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BES. After that they will have the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience which includes calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
