RIM BlackBerry recently introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering NO COST server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while delivering the core accessibility, security, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry BES Server including wireless sync and mobile availability of data and applications. But the price cuts don't end at free software and CALs. You also get the option to select the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data carrier plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, saving you up to $20 a month for each of your BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed directly on an Exchange or SBS server, which can handle up to 75 users, or on a dedicated BESX server which can support as many as 2,000 clients. RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who until now could not financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry devices to their corporate network.
The Express version of BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability features, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and limits the number of supported policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan clients will be required to execute an initial wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. After that they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry wireless email and organizer data experience which includes calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes. Users with the BES wireless data plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones wirelessly.
