Creating server groups and installing

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

instances

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

instance contains the following

BlackBerry UEM

components:

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

, the

BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service

, the

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

,

BlackBerry Proxy

, and the

BlackBerry Cloud Connector

.

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

. 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

.

Optionally, you can designate each

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

in a server group to handle a single connection type:

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

only,

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

only, or

BlackBerry Proxy

only. This frees up server resources to allow fewer servers required for the same number of users or containers.
