Why Invest in BES v5.0?
More Power. More Control. More Efficiency.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 is designed to provide peace of mindwhile helping you meet yourmobility needs. Engineered for mission critical environments, you can benefit from the high availability architecture, improved administrative features, valuable monitoring tools, advanced security, and its ability to grow with your company.
Giving Power and Flexibility New Meaning.
The BlackBerry Administration Service is a dynamic, web-based, centralized administrative console designed to provide a complete and efficient way to manage the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution. The console is customized, so that it only shows the administrator the relevant tasks based on their role. It provides what is needed to set up and manage the high availability architecture, wirelessly deploy BlackBerry smartphones, manage user settings, deploy and manage applications, assign permissions, control groups, and update BlackBerry® Device Software.
Enterprise-wide application deployments and upgrades are efficient and can be done without impact to BlackBerry smartphone users. With enhanced job management, throttling and scheduling, deployments can now be managed around peak business hours. Jobs can be scheduled to avoid interference with day-to-day business continuity which solves the problem of the IT Administration team needing to work after hours. Jobs and tasks can both be throttled, with individual throttling thresholds available for varying types of tasks including IT policies, application distribution, device software distribution and device software application settings.
Custom roles and enhanced group functionality provide more controls that allow administrators to assign BlackBerry smartphone functionality according to employee roles within the company. IT managers can now assign role-based permissions to IT staff, tailoring BlackBerry administrative tasks to the specific role of the administrator. Group membership capabilities have been expanded, with multiple levels of nested groups possible, and the ability to assign roles, software configurations and IT policies to groups.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 administration has been fine-tuned with the addition of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Transporter. This tool allows administrators to migrate BlackBerry smartphone users from one BlackBerry domain to another, without requiring action by the user. To help ensure that upgrades to BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 go smoothly, a test environment can be built first and then the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter can be used to move users into the production environment.
Offering Peace of Mind in Mission Critical Environments.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 introduces a built-in high
availability architecture which enables fast recovery from unplanned
downtime of BlackBerry Enterprise Server components. If the need
arises, the new high availability architecture is designed to
automatically use the standby components and has the flexibility of
being deployed on physical and virtual servers (specifically VMware®).
The high availability architecture is designed to give you confidence
in your wireless infrastructure, and is easy to deploy, while flexible
enough to be tailored to your unique environment.
Through the BlackBerry Administration Service, enhanced monitoring
capabilities assess the health of your BlackBerry Enterprise Solution
helping to keep operations optimized. The Threshold Assistance Tool provides system and user level alerting to help administrators choose
good values for baseline thresholds to help enable proactive
monitoring. By offering more visibility into your wireless platform,
IT administrators are alerted before there is a problem.
Invest in the Future.
Invest in BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 today and leverage this
investment long into the future. Using forward-thinking design
principles, BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 was made to grow with
your business. As your company grows, you can add more BlackBerry
Enterprise Server instances to support tens of thousands of
BlackBerry smartphone users.
The ability to integrate with BlackBerry products, as well as with
products developed by a multitude of partners, helps you expand your
wireless infrastructure in a cost-effective way. Because every company
is different, this product offers tools and services that administrators
can tailor to their organizations. Take advantage of the growing
community of developers that have created many services and
applications for BlackBerry smartphones.
Be more productive while on the go BlackBerry smartphones now offer more access to desktop features, helping bridge the gap between employees and the business tools they rely on while out of the office. They can:
- flag important messages in Microsoft® Outlook®*

- easily access network drives using the remote file explorer, and
view or attach files directly from the BlackBerry smartphone* - add, rename, delete, or move email folders as necessary*
