Overview

A component of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution, BlackBerry® Enterprise Server is robust software that acts as the centralized link between wireless devices, enterprise applications and wireless networks. Designed to meet the needs of enterprise and government organizations, it provides a proven, secure, open architecture for globally extending wireless communications and corporate data to mobile users.

• Advanced Security Features – BlackBerry Enterprise Server delivers end-to-end Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES) encryption that helps ensure the confidentiality and integrity of wirelessly transmitted information from behind the firewall to wireless devices in the field. With support for more than 100 over the air wireless IT policies and commands that enable IT administrators to wirelessly enforce security settings, BlackBerry Enterprise Server meets even the most stringent IT requirements.
