Understanding the Blackberry Ecosystem - BES vs BIS
BlackBerry ecosystem has been in existence for over ten years, so it's no wonder that there are many confusing terms associated with it. The difference between the "BES" and "BIS" is particularly confusing, so let's see if we can clarify what each is and where they fit into the overall infrastructure of the BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
BES is an abbreviation for BlackBerry Enterprise Server . As you might imagine from the name, BES technology aimed at business users (medium-sized enterprises). These companies use systems such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange or Novell GroupWise to provide employees an e-mail and other related skills.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server acts as a channel between these systems and staff BlackBerry handhelds. It also provides companies with centralized control of those handhelds. And it acts as a proxy server, so that BlackBerry users can browse the Internet or corporate intranet. In other words,
- BES = corporate e-mail + intranet / internet device management +
To use the BES (and get access to corporate e-mail message), BlackBerry handheld must be "paired" with the BES server manages tvrtka.Uparivanje process creates an encrypted two-way data connection between the handheld and poslužitelja.BES monitor container corporate e-mail server and uses the data connection to provide instant notification of new handheld e-mail, meeting invitations, calendar changes, etc.
It's a business side of the BlackBerry ecosystem.
BlackBerry Internet Service
BIS is the abbreviation for BlackBerry Internet Service . Unlike BES technology, the BIS is a consumer technology. Consumers do not use the central mail server, a mail in various places such as Yahoo!, Google, or their Internet service provider (ISP). BIS lets them send and receive personal e-mail. It also allows them to browse the Internet from their devices. In other words,
- = BIS personal e-mail access +
After purchasing the BlackBerry Handheld, the consumer creates a BIS account and register his or her personal e-mail address of the service. BIS then
This is the consumer side of the BlackBerry ecosystem.
BES and BIS Coexistence
BES and BIS can coexist on the same BlackBerry handheld. BIS provides a wireless carrier. BES provides employers, who buy and install the BES software on the corporate intranet. This means that it is possible to send and receive corporate e-mail and personal e-mail from the same hand, assuming the BES IT policies (which allow the employer to control the paired device can or can not do and overrides user settings) does not specifically restrict access to the BIS .
This is really possible to get the best of both worlds - the personal and corporate -. With its BlackBerry Handheld
