BlackBerry UEM

components

The

BlackBerry UEM Core

is the central component of the

BlackBerry UEM

architecture. It consists of several subcomponents that are responsible for:

The

BlackBerry UEM

database is a relational database that contains user account information and configuration information that

BlackBerry UEM

uses to manage devices and

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps.

BlackBerry Proxy

maintains the secure connection between your organization and the

BlackBerry Dynamics NOC

. It also supports

BlackBerry Dynamics

Direct Connect, which allows app data to bypass the

BlackBerry Dynamics NOC

.

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

provides a secure IP tunnel between work apps on devices and your organization's network. One tunnel that supports standard IPv4 (TCP and UDP) data is established for each device through the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

.

The

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

provides a secure connection through the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

and

BlackBerry UEM

to your organization's mail server for

iOS

devices.

The

BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service

sends commands to

Exchange ActiveSync

to add devices to an allowed list when devices are activated on

BlackBerry UEM

. Unmanaged devices that try to connect to an organization's mail server can be reviewed, verified, and blocked or allowed by an administrator using the

BlackBerry UEM

management console.

The management console and

BlackBerry UEM Self-Service

provide a web-based user interface for administrator and user access to

BlackBerry UEM

.

You use the management console to manage system settings, users, devices, and apps.

Users can use

BlackBerry UEM Self-Service

to set an activation password and send commands to devices, such as set password, lock device, and delete device data.

BEMS

consolidates several services used to send work data to and from

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps, including:

BlackBerry Push Notifications

,

BlackBerry Connect

,

BlackBerry Presence

, and

BlackBerry Docs

.

The

BEMS

databases store user, app, policy, and configuration information.

BlackBerry Push Notifications

accepts push registration requests from

iOS

and

Android

devices and then communicates with

Microsoft Exchange

to monitor the user's work mail account for changes.

BlackBerry Connect

provides secure instant messaging, company directory look-up, and user presence information to

iOS

and

Android

devices.

BlackBerry Presence

provides real-time presence status to

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps.

BlackBerry Docs

lets your

BlackBerry Dynamics

app users access, synchronize, and share documents using their work file server,

SharePoint

,

Box

, and content management systems supporting CMIS, without the need for VPN software, firewall reconfiguration, or duplicate data stores.

By default,

BlackBerry UEM

makes a direct connection to the

BlackBerry Infrastructure

over ports 3101 and 443. If your organization's security policy requires that internal systems not connect directly to the Internet, you can install the

BlackBerry Router

or use a third-party TCP proxy server that supports SOCKs v5 with no authentication.

The

BlackBerry UEM Core

and

BlackBerry Proxy

support using a third-party HTTP proxy server to connect to the

BlackBerry Dynamics NOC

.

The

BlackBerry Infrastructure

registers user information for device activation, validates licensing information for

BlackBerry UEM

and provides a trusted path between the organization and every user based on strong, cryptographic, mutual authentication.

The

BlackBerry Dynamics NOC

is a separately-located NOC that provides secure communications between

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps on devices and the

BlackBerry UEM Core

,

BlackBerry Proxy

, and

BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server

.
