Architecture: Remote BlackBerry Attachment Service
You can install the BlackBerry® Attachment Service
on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. You can install the BlackBerry Attachment Service remotely if you want to increase the number of conversion requests that can occur concurrently without impacting message delivery, support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server
instances, or create a BlackBerry Attachment Service
pool that can support multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server
instances.
For more information about how to configure the BlackBerry Attachment Service
for high availability, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Planning Guide.

Description
|
BlackBerry Administration Service
|
The BlackBerry Administration Service
permits you to manage the BlackBerry Attachment Service instances and set up attachment conversion features.
|
BlackBerry Attachment Service
|
The BlackBerry Attachment Service converts the attachment and returns the attachment data to the
BlackBerry Attachment Connector.
|
BlackBerry Configuration Database
|
The BlackBerry Configuration Database
contains the conversion data that the BlackBerry Attachment Service
uses when processing attachment data.
|
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
|
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server receives requests to convert message attachments from BlackBerry devices
and uses the BlackBerry Attachment Connector
to send the attachment data to a BlackBerry Attachment Service instance for conversion. After the BlackBerry Attachment Service instance
returns the converted attachment to the BlackBerry Attachment Connector, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends the attachment data to the user's BlackBerry device for viewing.

BlackBerry Router
|
The BlackBerry Router
connects to the wireless network to send email messages and attachments to and from BlackBerry devices.
