RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring FREE server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and management capabilities of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless synchronization and remote availability of data and programs. But the cost cuts don't end at free server software and CAL licenses. You now get the option to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan, which can save your business $10-$20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle up to 75 users, or on a dedicated server which can support up to 2,000 clients. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who before now couldn't financially justify connecting employees' BlackBerry devices to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not provide high availability features, system monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX integration and reduces the available policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan clients will be required to perform the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. After that they will enjoy the full BlackBerry wireless email and personal organizer data experience including scheduling, contacts, tasks, and notes. Users with the BES wireless data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices over the air.
