RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering FREE software and CALs while delivering the core accessibility, protection, and management capabilities of BlackBerry Enterprise Server including over-the-air sync and remote availability of files and programs. But the price cuts don't end at free server software and CAL licenses. You now have the option to select the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, saving you $10-$20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle as many as 75 users, or on a dedicated BESX server which can support as many as 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized organizations who until now could not financially justify integrating employees' BlackBerry devices to their corporate IT system.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES does not provide high availability features, monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone support and limits the supported policies from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan users will be required to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will have the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience including scheduling, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
