Research in Motion recently released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring FREE software and CALs while delivering the basic connectivity, security, and administration capabilities of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as wireless synchronization and remote access to files and applications. And the price savings don't stop at free software and CAL licenses. Customers also get the ability to select the BlackBerry Internet Service data carrier plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan, which can save your business up to $20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be installed directly on an Exchange or Small Business Server, recommended for up to 75 clients, or on a dedicated server to support as many as 2,000 clients. BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller businesses who before now couldn't afford connecting employees' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability, monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone support and reduces the number of supported IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan clients will have to execute an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BES. After that they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry mobile email and organizer data experience which includes calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes. Those using the BES wireless data plan can still enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
