Research in Motion has released BlackBerry BES Express, featuring FREE server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the core connectivity, protection, and management functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including over-the-air synchronization and remote availability of files and applications. But the price savings don't end at free server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You also have the option to select the BIS data carrier plan rather than the BES wireless data plan, which can save your business $10-$20 per month for every one of your RIM 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 stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for small- and medium-sized businesses who until now couldn't afford integrating employees' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate IT system.
The Express version of BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability features, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desk phone integration and reduces the available policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS wireless data plan users will be required to execute an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry wireless email and personal organizer data experience including calendar, contacts, do lists, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices over the air.
