Architecture: BlackBerry Enterprise Server remote components

You can install all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components on one computer, or you can install certain components on separate computers. Different components impact system resources differently. You can choose to install only one remote component on each computer in your organization's environment.

Component

Description

BlackBerry Manager

A remote BlackBerry Manager enables you to manage the BlackBerry Domain from their computers.

BlackBerry Attachment Service

A remote BlackBerry Attachment Service can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances.

The BlackBerry Attachment Service can use increased system resources when it processes concurrent conversion requests. You can install the BlackBerry Attachment Service on a remote computer to increase the number of concurrent conversions without impacting message delivery.

BlackBerry Collaboration Service

A remote BlackBerry Collaboration Service can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances.

The BlackBerry Collaboration Service uses a persistent socket connection for each instant messaging session. You can install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service on a remote computer to maximize the number of available sockets.

You can install only one type of BlackBerry Collaboration Service (for example, IBM® Lotus® Sametime®), and users can use only one type of enterprise instant messaging application on their BlackBerry devices.

BlackBerry MDS Connection Service

A remote BlackBerry MDS Connection Service can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances.

The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service can use increased system resources when it processes content requests. You can install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a remote computer to minimize the impact on message and data delivery.

BlackBerry MDS Integration Service

A remote instance of the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and one BlackBerry MDS Application Repository.

The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service can use increased system resources when processing content requests. You can install a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service on a remote computer to minimize the impact on message delivery.

BlackBerry MDS Application Repository

A remote BlackBerry MDS Application Repository can support one instance of the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service. You must install the BlackBerry MDS Application Repository on the same database server as the BlackBerry Configuration Database.

BlackBerry Router

A remote BlackBerry Router can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances.

The BlackBerry Router does not use many system resources, but it is a critical connection point for the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution. You can install multiple standby instances of the BlackBerry Router as failover locations in the event that the active BlackBerry Router is unavailable.

BlackBerry Configuration Database

A remote BlackBerry Configuration Database can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances, which creates a BlackBerry Domain.
