BlackBerry Enterprise Solution 33

BlackBerry architecture component security

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server consists of services that provide functionality and components that monitor

services and processes, route, compress, and encrypt data, and communicate with the BlackBerry Infrastructure

over the wireless network.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server architecture

For more information on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server architecture, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Feature and Technical Overview.

To improve the security and performance of the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution services and components, the

system administrator can separate your organization’s network into multiple firewall-segmented components to

create a network architecture that is segmented. Each segment of your organization’s network can contain

network traffic destined for a specific component or service. For more information about placing the BlackBerry

Enterprise Solution components in a network architecture that is segmented, see Placing the BlackBerry

Enterprise Solution in a Segmented Network.

BlackBerry Infrastructure

The BlackBerry Infrastructure is designed to communicate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server using a RIM-

proprietary protocol called Server Routing Protocol (SRP). SRP is a point-to-point protocol that runs over TCP/IP.
