Research in Motion has released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering FREE server software and CALs while delivering the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry BES Server such as over-the-air sync and mobile access to data and programs. But the cost savings don't end at free server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You now get the option to choose the BIS wireless data carrier plan instead of the BES wireless data plan, saving you up to $20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a dedicated server which can support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who before now couldn't afford connecting employees' BlackBerry devices to their corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not provide high availability, monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the supported policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS data plan users will be required to perform an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. Subsequently they will have the complete BlackBerry wireless messaging and organizer data experience including calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones wirelessly.
