Installation guide

Hardware requirements: BlackBerry Enterprise Server

The following are requirements for a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components that you

install on a single computer, and excludes the BlackBerry Collaboration Service and the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service. The

requirements are for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment that includes users that receive 100 to 200 email messages

each day.

You can improve the performance and reliability of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server by installing the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

components on multiple computers. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment supports up to 1000 users, install the

BlackBerry Configuration Database on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment supports up to 2000 users, install the BlackBerry Configuration Database and

the BlackBerry Administration Service on computers that are separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise

Server.
