Hardware requirements for up to 25,000 devices

For a domain with up to 25,000 devices, you can install all BlackBerry UEM components on one server, or you can install the UEM primary components and management console on one server, and the BlackBerry Connectivity Node on another server.

In both types of deployment, install Microsoft SQL Server on a separate server. The servers that host UEM must be physically located near the server with the SQL Server database (less than 5ms latency).

One instance of UEM can support:
  • Up to 25,000 Android or Windows devices with MDM-only activation (no BlackBerry Dynamics)
  • Up to 25,000 Android, iOS, Windows 10, or macOS devices with BlackBerry Dynamics-only activation (no MDM)
  • Up to 20,000 Android devices with MDM and BlackBerry Dynamics
  • Up to 10,000 iOS devices with MDM (with or without BlackBerry Dynamics)

One standard instance of the BlackBerry Connectivity Node can support up to 5000 iOS, macOS, Android, or Windows devices.

However, if you enable single-service performance mode, the BlackBerry Connectivity Node can support up to 10,000 devices per instance.
