Research in Motion has released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring FREE server software and CAL licenses while delivering the core connectivity, security, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless synchronization and remote access to files and applications. But the price cuts don't stop at free server software and CALs. Customers now have the ability to choose the BIS data carrier plan rather than the BES wireless data carrier plan, which can save your business $10-$20 per month for each of your BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be deployed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a stand-alone server to support up to 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for small- and medium-sized businesses who until now couldn't afford integrating employees' BlackBerry devices to their corporate IT system.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability, monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and limits the number of supported policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS data plan users will have to execute an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will have the complete BlackBerry wireless email and organizer data environment including scheduling, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
