RIM BlackBerry has released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring FREE software and CALs while delivering the core accessibility, security, and management capabilities of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as over-the-air sync and remote availability of files and applications. And the cost cuts don't stop at free software and CALs. Customers now get the ability to select the BIS data carrier plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan, which can save you $10-$20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, which can handle as many as 75 users, or on a dedicated server to support as many as 2,000 clients. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized organizations who until now couldn't afford integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES does not provide high availability, monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the supported policies from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan clients will be required to execute the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. After that they will have the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience including calendar, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones wirelessly.
