BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5 Implementation Guide

Book Description
BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is a platform that extends  corporate messaging and collaboration services to BlackBerry devices. It  supports management and administration of devices, and also supports  deployment of third-party applications on the BlackBerry device  platform. The basics of installing BlackBerry Enterprise Server are  familiar for most administrators, but the server is infinitely  configurable and contains extended administration features.

This book focuses on BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft  Exchange, providing detailed information on planning and implementing a  BlackBerry Enterprise Server deployment. It will show you how to use the  BES to manage the flow of e-mail data ensuring that it is directed to  its ultimate destination – the BlackBerry Smartphone. It covers all the  new features of the BES version 5.0 and also looks at areas that have  been enhanced from the previous versions. If you are new to BlackBerry  Enterprise Server, this is the perfect guide to help with your planning  and deployment.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server supports a variety of messaging  platforms, including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, and Novell  GroupWise. As you begin reading this book you will first learn about the  two prominent features introduced with BES 5: BlackBerry Administration  Service Console and Server Routing Protocol. As you proceed further you  will learn about 200 more configurable IT Policies provided by BES 5 as  opposed to the earlier versions. We will look at Mobile Data Service  and third-party applications that can be deployed to BlackBerry devices. We will also look at a monitoring portal included in the installation  process of BES 5, which provides health scores to check the BES  performance and a much more stable and robust SNMP. Written by mobile  and wireless technology experts, this book provides a detailed approach  to installing, configuring, and managing your BlackBerry Enterprise  Server.
