About Preparation
For a successful implementation of Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server,
prepare and plan for your installation.
Some factors to consider when you prepare to install:
• Does your server meet the installation server requirements?
• Does your network meet the installation network requirements?
• Are you using the Google Apps Premier Edition or Education Edition?
• Which database engine will you use, MSDE or Microsoft SQL Server?
• Do you need to make any preparations for security considerations?
• Do you wish to start with a smaller pilot program?
These issues are discussed in the chapter below.
Server Requirements
To avoid performance problems and system conflicts, install the Google Apps Connector along
with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a dedicated server with no other applications
installed or running.
