Minimum Requirements for BES 3.6

[98Converter]

We're preparing to purchase a server to house the BES. What would be the minimum requirements...?

I'm off to find out on the www.

Thanks all,
Chris

Hi 98Converter, what are you using ? Exchange or Domino?
How many users? There is a good site to have a look at,

We use a Win2000 SP4 Server (HP Proliant) with a 3Ghz Xeon CPU (board allows dual CPU config, just in case we ever require it), 2Gb RAM and 30Gb hard drive (mirrored).

The retailer who supplied the BES software stated that our 60-100 users would be serviced more than adequately with this machine. This phone company was using "less" to service its own corporate clients which numbered in the hundreds.

If you're using Exchange, don't forget the CDO.DLL swap depending on the version you'll be running.

In our case, we use a workstation, load it with W2K3 std edition and BES software. We bought 10 blackberry license. The WS is a P3 600hz with 128mb ram and 40gb of hard drive space. It works fine for us.
