RIM BlackBerry recently released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering FREE server software and CAL licenses while providing the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of BlackBerry BES Server including over-the-air sync and mobile availability of data and applications. But the cost cuts don't stop at free software and CALs. You now have the ability to select the BIS data carrier plan rather than the BES data plan, saving your business $10-$20 per month for each of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed on an Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a stand-alone server which can support up to 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized organizations who until now couldn't financially justify connecting employees' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate network.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES does not provide high availability, monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the number of available policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan users will be required to perform the first direct-attached enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. After that they will have the full BlackBerry wireless messaging and organizer data experience which includes calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices over the air.
