BlackBerry Enterprise Server: Up to 500 users

The Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server requires the following if you
plan to support more than 250 users (up to 500 users) on a BlackBerry Enterprise server:

A dedicated server. Do not use a server that is being used for other services.

Recommended Hardware Requirements: Quad Core Intel® Pentium® IV processor
(2GHz or greater), 8GB RAM.

Windows 2003 Server Standard SP2 64-bit (or Windows 2003 32-bit Enterprise) with

language=en

.

1 GB of disk space per user, in addition to Windows requirements.

An existing Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3 or Microsoft SQL
Server 2005.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange(R) version 4.1.7 or 5.0.2.

Note:

Research In Motion may issue newer Maintenance Releases for BlackBerry

Enterprise Server. For the latest supported release, see the Google Apps Connector Help
Center article.

If you have existing hardware that does not match the recommended specifications, you might
be able to support up to 500 users depending on your system utilization. Use a performance
monitoring tool (such as the native Windows

perfmon

) to monitor your hardware utilization.

If your average CPU utilization is approaching 40%, or Committed Memory is approaching
75%, add additional BlackBerry Enterprise Servers or upgrade your system to meet the listed
server requirements.
