Research in Motion recently introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring NO COST software and CAL licenses while delivering the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless sync and mobile availability of files and applications. But the price savings don't stop at free software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You now get the ability to select the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data carrier plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, which can save your business up to $20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle as many as 75 clients, or on a dedicated BESX server to support up to 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for smaller organizations who until now couldn't afford integrating employees' BlackBerry devices to the corporate network.
The Express version of BlackBerry BES Server does not provide high availability, monitoring, database mirroring, or desk phone support and limits the available IT polices from 450 to 35. Also, BIS data plan clients will have to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. After that they will have the full BlackBerry wireless messaging and personal organizer data experience which includes scheduling, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BES wireless data plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
