Research in Motion recently introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring NO COST server software and CAL licenses while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and administration capabilities of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as wireless sync and mobile availability of data and applications. And the price cuts don't stop at free software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). You also get the ability to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan instead of the BES data carrier plan, saving your business $10-$20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry clients!
BlackBerry BES Server Express can be deployed on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 clients, or on a stand-alone server to support as many as 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who before now could not financially justify integrating employees' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES does not provide high availability features, system monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desktop phone integration and reduces the available IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless 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 including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Those using the BES data plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
