Research in Motion recently released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering FREE server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the core accessibility, protection, and management functions of BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as over-the-air synchronization and remote access to files and programs. But the cost cuts don't end at free server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You also get the option to select the BIS wireless data plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan, which can save you up to $20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry clients!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed directly on an Exchange or SBS server, which can handle as many as 75 users, or on a dedicated server to support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who until now couldn't financially justify connecting their workers' BlackBerry devices to their corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not provide high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desk phone/PBX integration and limits the number of available policies from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan clients will have to perform the first direct-attached enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Subsequently they will enjoy the full BlackBerry mobile email and personal organizer data environment which includes calendar, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones wirelessly.
