Installation and Configuration Guide Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server 2 installation You can install all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components on one computer, or you can install specific components on separate computers. You should consider any impact to system resources before you decide where to install the components. You install all components on one computer if you do not plan to activate many BlackBerry devices, if you determine that the computer can manage the volume of traffic for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, and if it is acceptable that the computer has direct access to the Internet, without being located in the DMZ. If you want to configure high availability, you must install an additional BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. During the installation process, you specify that the duplicate BlackBerry Enterprise Server is the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server. For performance information, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Performance Benchmarking Guide. For more information about high availability, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Planning Guide. Installing all BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on one computer If you want to evaluate the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or complete a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation for a small number of users, you can install all the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on the same computer. During the installation process you can choose to install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service, BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, BlackBerry Monitoring Service, and BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. All of the other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components are installed automatically when you install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service is an optional component that you require only if you want users to use BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications on BlackBerry devices. Installing the BlackBerry Administration Service The BlackBerry® Administration Service permits you to manage a BlackBerry Domain through a web-based application. A BlackBerry Domain consists of one BlackBerry Configuration Database and all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instances and remote components that use the BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service with other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or by itself on a separate computer. You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service on a separate computer to limit the impact that the BlackBerry Administration Service might have on system resources and to prevent administrators in your organization from accessing any part of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you install the BlackBerry Administration Service before you install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the installation process can create and populate the BlackBerry Configuration Database. 6

Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server
installation
2
You can install all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components on one computer, or you can install specific components
on separate computers. You should consider any impact to system resources before you decide where to install the
components.
You install all components on one computer if you do not plan to activate many BlackBerry devices, if you determine
that the computer can manage the volume of traffic for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, and if it is
acceptable that the computer has direct access to the Internet, without being located in the DMZ.
If you want to configure high availability, you must install an additional BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a computer
that is separate from the computer that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. During the installation
process, you specify that the duplicate BlackBerry Enterprise Server is the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
For performance information, see the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Performance Benchmarking Guide
.
For more information about high availability, see the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Planning Guide.
Installing all BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on
one computer
If you want to evaluate the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or complete a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation for
a small number of users, you can install all the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on the same computer.
During the installation process you can choose to install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service, BlackBerry MDS
Integration Service, BlackBerry Monitoring Service, and BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager with the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server. All of the other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components are installed automatically when you
install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service is an optional component that you
require only if you want users to use BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications on BlackBerry devices.
Installing the BlackBerry Administration Service
The BlackBerry® Administration Service permits you to manage a BlackBerry Domain through a web-based
application. A BlackBerry Domain consists of one BlackBerry Configuration Database and all BlackBerry® Enterprise
Server instances and remote components that use the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service with other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or by itself
on a separate computer. You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service on a separate computer to limit the
impact that the BlackBerry Administration Service might have on system resources and to prevent administrators in
your organization from accessing any part of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you install
the BlackBerry Administration Service before you install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the installation process can
create and populate the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
