RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering FREE server software and CALs while delivering the basic accessibility, security, and management functions of BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as wireless synchronization and remote availability of files and programs. And the cost savings don't end at free software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). Customers now have the option to select the BIS data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan, which can save you $10-$20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized businesses who before now couldn't financially justify connecting their workers' BlackBerry devices to their corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not provide high availability, monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and reduces the supported policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan users will have to execute the first direct-attached enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. Subsequently they will have the complete BlackBerry mobile email and personal organizer data environment including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
