RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering NO COST server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the basic connectivity, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry BES Server such as over-the-air synchronization and mobile access to files and programs. But the price savings don't stop at free server software and CAL licenses. Customers now have the ability to select the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, which can save you up to $20 a month for each of your BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, which can handle as many as 75 clients, or on a dedicated BESX server to support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who before now could not financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry devices to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not provide high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desk phone support and limits the number of supported policies from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan users will be required to execute an initial wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will enjoy the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience which includes scheduling, address books, tasks, and notes. Users with the BES data plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
