RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering NO COST server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the basic accessibility, security, and administration capabilities of BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless synchronization and mobile availability of files and programs. But the cost cuts don't stop at free software and CALs. You also have the option to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, saving you up to $20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry clients!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle as many as 75 clients, or on a stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 clients. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized businesses who until now could not financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry devices to the corporate IT system.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the available IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS wireless data plan clients will be required to perform the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Subsequently they will enjoy the full BlackBerry wireless messaging and organizer data experience including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
