Architecture: Remote BlackBerry Router
You can install the BlackBerry Router on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server. You can install the BlackBerry Router on a remote computer if you want to support multiple BlackBerry
Enterprise Server
instances, create a remote BlackBerry Router pool, or if your organization's security policy requires that
internal systems cannot make connections directly to the Internet and all systems must connect through another system in
the DMZ.
The BlackBerry Router does not use many system resources, but it is a critical connection point for the BlackBerry
Enterprise Solution. You can install multiple BlackBerry Router instances for high availability if the primary BlackBerry
Router becomes unavailable.
If you install the BlackBerry Router in the DMZ, you can permit users to log in to your organization's LAN remotely and you
can deploy BlackBerry devices through a computer that is running the BlackBerry Device Manager.
