RIM BlackBerry has released BlackBerry BES Express, featuring NO COST server software and CAL licenses while delivering the basic accessibility, protection, and administration capabilities of BlackBerry BES Server including over-the-air synchronization and remote access to files and applications. But the cost savings don't end at free server software and CAL licenses. Customers now have the ability to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data carrier plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan, which can save your business $10-$20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry BES Server Express can be deployed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle up to 75 users, or on a dedicated BESX server which can support as many as 2,000 clients. BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who before now couldn't financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability, system monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and reduces the number of available policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS wireless data plan clients will have to execute an initial wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the full BlackBerry mobile email and organizer data environment including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
