The BlackBerry Server software is designed for organisations that have their own email server; Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, or Novell Groupwise. There are two versions of the BlackBerry Server depending on the number of BlackBerry users your organisation has or might grow to.
Both of these versions of the BlackBerry Server software
operate in the same way.
The basic steps in receiving an email are as follows:

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server connects to your organisation's existing IT systems and works in tandem with your email server (e.g. Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino or Novell Groupwise).
Security
From the BlackBerry server to the handheld, Triple DES Encryption or AES Encryption secures your communications. This ultra-tough encryption is why BlackBerry has been so popular all over the world with government organisations and financial institutions.
Management
The BlackBerry server provides IT departments with simplified management and centralised control of all BlackBerry users. The server remains under the complete control of your IT department.
