The BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service provides users with access to online content and applications on the corporate intranet or the Internet.

The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests. If you want to minimize its impact on other components, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service by itself on a separate computer.

You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

If you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
