Installing additional

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

components in an on-premises environment

You can install one or more instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

to add additional instances of the device connectivity components to your organization’s domain. Each

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

contains an active instance of

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

that can process device data and establish secure connections.

You can also create server groups. A server group contains one or more instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

. When you create a server group, you specify the regional data path that you want the components to use to connect to the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

. For example, you can create a server group to direct device connections for

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

and the

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

to use the path for the United States to the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

. You can associate email and enterprise connectivity profiles with a server group. Any device that is assigned those profiles uses that server group’s regional connection to the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

when it uses any of the components of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

.

If a domain includes more than one

BlackBerry UEM

instance, the

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

component in each instance runs and processes data. Data is load-balanced across all

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

components in the domain.

High availability failover is available for

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

. If a device is using a secure tunnel and the current

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

component becomes unavailable, the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

assigns the device to a

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

component on another

BlackBerry UEM

instance. The device resumes use of the secure tunnel with minimal disruption.
