Installation Guide Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
You can install all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components on one computer, or you can install specific components on separate computers. Consider any impacts on system resources before you decide where to install a component.
Consider installing all components on one computer if you do not plan to activate many BlackBerry devices, if you have determined that the computer can handle the traffic volume for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, or if you do not mind that the computer has direct access to the wireless network. For performance information, see BlackBerry Enterprise
Server Performance Benchmarking.

Installing all BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on one computer
If you want to set up an evaluation or complete a simple installation of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for a small number of users, you can install all the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on the same computer.
During the installation process, you can choose to install all BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, including the
BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, on the same computer. The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service is only required if you want to use enterprise applications on BlackBerry devices.
Installing the BlackBerry Attachment Service
The BlackBerry® Attachment Service converts supported attachments into a format that users can view on their BlackBerry devices.
The BlackBerry Attachment Service might use increased system resources when it processes numerous conversion requests at the same time. If you want to increase the number of conversion requests that can occur concurrently without impacting message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry Attachment Service on a separate computer.
You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry Attachment Service.
If you install the BlackBerry Attachment Service on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry Attachment Service and the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Attachment Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
Installing the BlackBerry Collaboration Service
The BlackBerry® Collaboration Service provides an encrypted connection between your organization's instant messaging server and the collaboration client on the BlackBerry device.
If you want to help maximize the number of available sockets so that the BlackBerry Collaboration Service can respond to more requests, you can install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service by itself on a separate computer.

Installation Guide Installing the BlackBerry Manager
If you install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service and the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Collaboration Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry Collaboration Service.
A different BlackBerry Collaboration Service exists for each instant messaging environment. For example, a BlackBerry
Collaboration Service exists for Windows® Messenger, and a different BlackBerry Collaboration Service exists for IBM®
Lotus® Sametime®. You can install only one BlackBerry Collaboration Service in your environment. Users can use only one type of collaboration client on their BlackBerry devices.
Installing the BlackBerry Manager
The BlackBerry® Manager allows administrators to manage a BlackBerry® Domain. A BlackBerry Domain consists of single
BlackBerry Configuration Database and all BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instances that use it.
You can install the BlackBerry Manager with other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or by itself on administrator computers. Install the BlackBerry Manager on administrator computers if you have many administrators or if administrators cannot access the BlackBerry Enterprise Server computers.
Installing the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
The BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service provides users with access to online content and applications on the corporate intranet or the Internet.
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests. If you want to minimize the impact on message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service by itself on a separate computer.
You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.
If you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service and the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
Installing the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
The BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service provides connectivity between the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application on
BlackBerry devices and enterprise applications.
The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests. If you want to minimize the impact on message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service by itself on a separate computer.

Installation Guide Installing the BlackBerry Router
You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry MDS Integration Service.
If you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration
Service and the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
The BlackBerry MDS Integration Service requires the BlackBerry MDS Application Repository, which the setup application installs on your database server during the installation process. Each BlackBerry MDS Integration Service instance supports one BlackBerry MDS Application Repository.
Installing the BlackBerry Router
The BlackBerry® Router connects to the wireless network and routes data to and from BlackBerry devices.
You can install the BlackBerry Router with other BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components or by itself on a separate computer. Install the BlackBerry Router on a separate computer if you want to set it up in the DMZ, or to install several standby instances of the BlackBerry Router as failover components in case your primary BlackBerry Router becomes unavailable.
You can connect multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to a single BlackBerry Router.
If you install the BlackBerry Router on a separate computer, you install the BlackBerry Router and the BlackBerry Controller.
The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Router and restarts it if it stops responding.
Installing the Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server
The Hosted BlackBerry® Enterprise Server allows you to make the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server available to other organizations (for example, small or medium-sized businesses). When you configure the Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server in your corporate environment, one or multiple organizations can subscribe to your service.
If you want to install the Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the installation process and requirements are identical to those for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server includes all of the components of the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, but it uses a different licensing model.
Depending on how you configure your hosted environment, you might require additional configurations after the installation.
