Installing BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 on a single computer


This image depicts the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 architecture when installed on a single computer

You can install BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 version 10.1 or later on a single computer, or on a computer that hosts BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP4.

This reduces the amount of hardware required. However, in larger environments, you can choose to install components on separate computers to balance the work load.

There are both benefits and limitations to this type of deployment.

Benefits

Limitations

  • Simplified installation with minimal user intervention
  • Quick installation or upgrade
  • Reduced hardware, software, and maintenance costs
  • May cause performance issues when deploying a large number of devices

If you want to deploy a BlackBerry Router or a Proxy server, you will require an additional computer. If your organization requires the additional security of deploying the BlackBerry Router or Proxy server in a DMZ, you will also need an internal firewall.
