BlackBerry® Enterprise Server

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server encrypts and compresses application data that BlackBerry devices receive and decompresses and decrypts application data that devices send.

BlackBerry MDS Connection Service

The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component that exists in an organization's network behind a firewall. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is designed to provide BlackBerry Pushcast Player users with highly secure access to their organization's intranet and the Internet. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service makes requests to the BlackBerry Pushcast server to access content.

BlackBerry Pushcast Software

The BlackBerry Pushcast Software permits authors to create content and send it directly to the BlackBerry Pushcast Player on devices or to the BlackBerry Pushcast server. The BlackBerry® Pushcast™ Desktop Player and BlackBerry Pushcast Player on BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets retrieve the content from the BlackBerry Pushcast server. BlackBerry Pushcast Desktop Player users can view content on a computer. BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet users can view content in the BlackBerry Pushcast Player when they have a connection to a wireless network.

The BlackBerry® Pushcast™ Initiator is a BlackBerry Pushcast Software service that manages the amount of content that the BlackBerry Pushcast Software can send to BlackBerry Pushcast Player users at one time. The BlackBerry Pushcast Initiator determines when the BlackBerry Pushcast Software can send an encrypted notification email message to the BlackBerry Pushcast Player on a device. Devices use the encrypted notification email message when BlackBerry device users download new content or delete existing content.
