Installing a

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

instance

You can install one or more instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

to add additional capacity for device connectivity, for the purposes of regionalizing device connectivity, or for the purpose of high availability or disaster recovery.

Each

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

instance contains the following

BlackBerry UEM

components:

Each

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

instance provides another active instance of these components to the

BlackBerry UEM

domain that can process and manage secure device connections (by default, the

BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service

in a

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

instance is disabled).

Enterprise connectivity can be maintained by creating server groups for

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

connectivity or

BlackBerry Proxy

clusters for

BlackBerry Dynamics

connectivity.

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.

A

BlackBerry Proxy

cluster contains one or more instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

. When you create a

BlackBerry Proxy

cluster, you specify the

BlackBerry Proxy

servers included in the cluster, as well as whether that cluster will be used for

BlackBerry Dynamics

activation, or only for application server connectivity.

After you install a

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

, you must register it before it can be used.
