RIM BlackBerry has released BlackBerry BES Express, offering FREE server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as over-the-air sync and mobile availability of data and applications. But the cost savings don't end at free software and CAL licenses. You now get the option to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan, which can save you up to $20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, which can handle up to 75 clients, or on a stand-alone BESX server to support as many as 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who before now could not afford connecting their workers' BlackBerry devices to their corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability, monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desk phone/PBX support and limits the available policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan users will have to perform the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Subsequently they will enjoy the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Those using the BES wireless data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
