With the expanded used of Blackberry Smart phones by small and medium sized business questions arise as to exactly what the Blackberry Enterprise Server is and how it works. This article seeks to give an overview and provide insight into how and why this tool is so successful.

BlackBerry handhelds are integrated into an organization’s e-mail system through a software package called “BlackBerry Enterprise Server” (BES). Versions of BES are available for Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise. While individual users may be able to use a wireless provider’s e-mail services without having to install BES themselves, organizations with multiple users usually run BES on their own network. Some third-party companies like CDMworld provide hosted BES solutions. Every BlackBerry has an ID called BlackBerry PIN, which is used to identify the device to the BES.

BES can act as a sort of e-mail relay for corporate accounts so that users always have access to their e-mail. The software monitors the user’s local “inbox”, and when a new message comes in, it picks up the message and passes it to RIM’s Network Operations Center (NOC). The messages are then relayed to the user’s wireless provider, which in turn delivers them to the user’s BlackBerry device.

The ability to have the users email delivered on demand provides a constant contact type of environment allowing users to take advantage of business opportunities or requirements as they arise.

This is called “push e-mail,” because all new e-mails, contacts and calendar entries are “pushed” out to the BlackBerry device automatically, as opposed to the user synchronizing the data by hand or on a polling basis. Blackberry also supports polling email, which is how it supports POP. Device storage also enables the mobile user to access all data offline in areas without wireless service. As soon as the user connects again, the BES sends the latest data.

An included feature in the newer models of the BlackBerry is the ability for it to track your current location through trilateration. One can view the online maps on the phone and see current location denoted by a flashing dot. However, accuracy of BlackBerry trilateration is less than that of GPS due to a number of factors, including cell tower blockage by large buildings, mountains, or distance.

BES also provides handhelds with TCP/IP connectivity accessed through a component called “Mobile Data Service – Connection Service” (MDS-CS). This allows for custom application development using data streams on BlackBerry devices based on the Sun Microsystems Java ME platform.

In addition, BES provides network security, in the form of Triple DES or, more recently, AES encryption of all data (both e-mail and MDS traffic) that travels between the BlackBerry handheld and a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

CDMworld offers flat monthly pricing for unlimited data between BlackBerry units and BES. In addition to receiving e-mail, organizations can make intranets or custom internal applications with unmetered traffic. The offering can be for the BES as a stand-alone solution or the BES to be tightly integrated into the Microsoft Exchange Hosted Email Solution.

With more recent versions of the BlackBerry platform, the MDS is no longer a requirement for wireless data access. Beginning with OS 3.8 or 4.0, BlackBerry handhelds can access the Internet (i.e. TCP/IP access) without an MDS – previously only e-mail and WAP access was possible without a BES/MDS. The BES/MDS is still required for secure e-mail, data access, and applications that require WAP from carriers that do not allow WAP access.

The demand for cloud computing has grown due to the economics of the cloud computing value proposition. Cloud computing users can avoid capital expenditures on hardware, software, and services when they pay a provider only for what they use. When one considers the savings associated with the capital expenditure cost and then factors in the cost savings of technical personnel and opportunity cost the return on investment concerns can typically be avoided. In many small and medium businesses (SMB) the real value is found in the application deployment as the company can quickly deploy enterprise applications and then scale them up or down as needed. This rapid deployment allows the company to quickly test markets or opportunity in a highly controlled manner.

Cloud Computing is normally billed on a consumption model and is usually billed like a utility (e.g. resources consumed, like electricity) or subscription (e.g. time based, like a newspaper) basis with little or no upfront cost. While a few cloud providers are now beginning to offer the service for a flat monthly fee as opposed to a utility billing basis, the most common billing process is that of consumption depending on the requirement of the company. The billing model for access to a server and operating system might be billed on a utility basis while access to an enterprise application is typically a simple per user charge that incorporates the underlying infrastructure.

The benefits of this time sharing style approach are low barriers to entry, shared infrastructure and costs, low management overhead, and immediate access to a broad range of applications. Users can generally terminate the cloud computing contract at any time (thereby avoiding return on investment risk and uncertainty) and the services are often covered by service level agreements (SLAs) with financial penalties which provide another level of assurance.

CDMworld PaaS offerings support the use of the application by many concurrent users, providing concurrency management, scalability, failover and security. The architecture enables defining the “trust relationship” between users in security, access, distribution of source code, navigation history, user (people and device) profiles, interaction history, and application usage.

Integration with web services and databases

Support for SOAP and REST interfaces allow CDMworld PaaS offerings to create compositions of multiple Web services, sometimes called “Mashups” as well as access databases and re-use services maintained inside private networks. Support for keeping the user/relationships (if multiple users)/device context and profile through the mashup across web services, databases and networks.

Support for development team collaboration

The ability to form and share code with ad-hoc or a pre-defined or distributed team greatly enhances the productivity of the CDMworld PaaS offerings. Schedules, objectives, teams, action items, owners of different areas of responsibilities, roles (designers, developers, tester, QC) can be defined, updated and tracked based on access rights.

Utility-grade instrumentation

CDMworld PaaS offerings provide developers insight into the inner workings of their applications, and the behavior of their users. Some CDMworld PaaS offerings use information about user behavior to enable pay-per-use billing.

CDMworld Encrypted Message Service

CDMworld Encrypted Message allows your customers to send emails with end-to-end encryption – so important documents such as contracts or company plans can be safely and securely sent via email.

Why encrypt email?

Email is a convenient, fast and efficient way to communicate and share important information.  However, it is an inherently insecure medium, as emails travels through multiple public and private networks and data lines between sender and recipient.  Because email by default is sent in a unencrypted format, anyone who can intercept the email in transit, can easily access of its its contents, including any attachments.

By encrypting email with Encrypted Message, only the sender and recipients, who have a special decryption key, can read the contents of the message and its attachments.  If someone intercepts an encrypted message, or tries to access it without permission and the decryption key, they will be unable to read the email or its attachment.

Who Should Encrypt email?

All businesses, and their professional advisors, agents and clients should take steps to protect the privacy of their email. Businesses that need encrypted email include:

Financial Services – Banks, brokerages, insurance companies, wealth management, accountants, financial advisors

Healthcare – Physicians, clinics, health associations, health networks, hospitals, pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies

Business Professionals – Lawyers, headhunters, investigators, consultants, human resource professionals, embassies

Businesses need to be able to trust email communications and reduce the risk of damage to their brand. Professional advisors such as lawyers, financial advisors, accountants, educators, and healthcare providers, all have ethical and fiduciary duties to keep their clients’ personal information confidential.

Regulatory Compliance controls risk and maximizes security

Governments have enacted legislative measures to protect the privacy and reliability of business and personal information. Encrypted Message meets these industry-specific privacy legislations including:

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is an example of legislation that protects personal information sent amongst health care professionals, such as patient health records, test results, x-rays, and prescriptions, are used, disclosed, and protected.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) governs integrity of financial operations of publicly traded companies with the primary goal of protecting “investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to securities laws”.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) required that all financial institutions (i.e., businesses engaged in banking, insuring, stocks and bonds, financial advice and investing) maintain safeguards to protect customer information.

California Security Breach Notification Act (SB 1386) required that companies, in the event of a

breach of the security system of a database containing personal information (e.g. social security

number; driver’s license number of California Identification Card number; or account number, credit or debit card number, notify all California residents whose unencrypted personal information was in the database at the time of the data breach.

Fully managed email encryption solution

If your customer is already using your  hosted Exchange service, then encrypting your mail is easy.   With Encrypted Message, users can quickly, easily and intuitively send email with confidence. Encrypted Message is built on industry-trusted encryption standards, and provides the tools you need to simply and easily administer users. We host and manage the hardware and software needed to enable encryption and decryption processes, and management of digital identities. We administer the system and support you while you control your users.

How does it work?

The Encrypted Message solution includes a small desktop plug-in the works with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.  Customers compose their email messages, add any attachments, click the “Secure” button on the Encrypted Message plug-in toolbar, set their encryption password, and hit “send.”  It’s that easy.   When the recipients receive the message, Encrypted Message will prompt them for the password, and then decrypts the message.  This simple process allows customers to quickly encrypt and decrypt messages without the hassle of managing a security and key infrastructure.

How Secure is it?

Encrypted Message uses standards-based technologies such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), S/MIME and X.509 certificates to enable the parties in a dialogue to establish confidentiality, message integrity and user authentication.  This ensures the best commercially available encryption security for your messages.

What attachments does it support?

Encrypted Message can encrypt any MS Office document, .PDF file, image files, and almost any other popular file format.
