RIM BlackBerry has released BlackBerry BES Express, featuring NO COST server software and CAL licenses while delivering the basic accessibility, protection, and administration capabilities of BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless sync and mobile availability of files and programs. But the cost savings don't stop at free server software and CALs. Customers now have the option to select the BIS data plan instead of the BES wireless data plan, saving your business up to $20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed directly on an Exchange or SBS server, which can handle up to 75 users, or on a stand-alone server to support up to 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who until now could not afford connecting employees' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate network.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability features, monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the supported IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS data plan users will be required to perform the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the full BlackBerry wireless email and personal organizer data experience which includes calendar, address books, do lists, and notes. Those using the BES data plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
