SmartPhone BlackBerry: 03/23/09

Assuming a corporate environment

Canada's Research In Motion (RIM) to offer BlackBerry, e-mail and shared scheduling mobile terminals using smart phone system that allows for the use of business data. Has been adopted so far in the U.S. and European companies, NTT DoCoMo said in Japan about 2006 years after its introduction in 1000 has been introduced.

The BlackBerry, RIM and RIM device to offer data center services "BlackBerry Infrastructure", to be installed in the company "BlackeBerry Enterprise Server (BES)", a network of mobile operators (NTT DoCoMo in Japan) is composed of .

Mr. Takahashi said, "is considered a partnership with corporate systems and network security, how difficult is it to deploy and operate." O the company in this case, Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes / Domino to a BlackBerry little purpose to use the terminal. The number of terminal operations, and several dozen to 800 scale.

Secure communications path

BlackBerry, the communication path between the terminals and corporate BlackBerry Infrastructure mediated by the network operators and mobile phone, and how to protect data transferred between. As shown below, a mobile operator and the first terminal on a network of businesses that are encrypted, and operators with the BlackBerry Infrastructure using a dedicated line. BlackBerry Infrastructure between the BES and BlackBerry SRP own communications and the use of tunneling protocols, the route during the implementation of 3DES or AES encryption for data.

BES is set up within the company, BlackBerry Infrastructure connection to Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes / Domino data and perform with. Each and groupware, MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects to sync using. Connecting to the BlackBerry Infrastructure, the first from the 3101 BES conducted AUTOBANDO way to communicate using only port, BlackBerry Infrastructure in BES to allow connections from a session is started.

BES when introducing the band in the direction set out in 3101 because of the firewall to allow only port available, it is difficult from the outside of BES unauthorized attempts to connect to the target. BES security policy and are unable to connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure, that are provided separately SOFUTOUEARUTA "BlackBerry Router" in the DMZ can be installed on.

BlackBerry Infrastructure uses, BES connection with the certification process and connect to each terminal, and perform data storage and e-mail. When delivered to the terminal from the e-mail groupware BES first and save the data obtained from a given size groupware, e-mail five minutes to transfer cases to the BlackBerry Infrastructure. BlackBerry Infrastructure in order to transfer the e-mail and network operators to know the status of the device, and push the image to the terminal operators in the final.

Respond to mission-critical

BlackBerry devices in use is different from the general staff and management, Mr. Takahashi, BlackBerry e-mail delivery infrastructure and an ability to explore, explain and mission-critical systems and services can not afford to stop and that.

Therefore, BES can be configured into three main types of redundancy. One of the BES database to have multiple users, a way to keep a hot standby backup systems. In that case you need to back on a regular basis and registration information. One BES with multiple configurations for a single user database, all you have to activate the BES. In this case, and that measures need to be configured for redundancy just in case the user database.

Finally, redundant control configuration "Neverfail" software that uses two or more BES way to synchronize the user database, and reserve one of the BES is stopped automatically be switched to BES. In addition, VMware's virtualization platform in BES are also running.

Notes unique mobile

Mr. Takahashi, BlackBerry as notes on the operation and SUMATOFONSHISUTEMU, "Please note that a large number of related services." If the BlackBerry, in addition to its facilities, RIM provides BES and BlackBerry Infrastructure, in the terminal. BlackBerry Infrastructure companies also mediate cell-phone network operators and between network services.

The terminal is equipped with a QWERTY keyboard, mobile phone users are accustomed to operating in a key general and in some cases difficult to enter the smartphone experience. "As smart phones become ubiquitous in the house, it is desirable to provide leadership and training to people familiar with the use of smart phones would" (Mr. Takahashi).

MS system for multi-carrier

Microsoft's smartphone OS for the latest version of "Windows Mobile 6.1" smart and centralized management tools, "System Center Mobile Device Management (SCMDM)" to provide a platform to centralize the management of a large smartphone devices. The company's platform that is suitable for multi-carrier environment independent of the specific mobile phone network operators.

The company's systems, SCMDM the DMZ to the intranet and placed on two units, using a digital certificate system for smart phones and VPN access to internal systems of connections. SCMDM DMZ on the VPN gateway function when the connection is on the Intranet SCMDM terminal and central management of Active Directory and Exchange Server to work with various servers.

If you want to access from the terminal, a digital certificate using the SSL VPN connection through the DMZ on SCMDM RIBASUPUROKISHISABA access to, and user authentication. After successful authentication, the "Mobile VPN" for the IKE and IPSec VPN on the Intranet and the switch to connect to connect SCMDM will be available to business applications.

SCMDM and Windows Mobile systems available, the need for office equipment such as digital certificates for authentication of remote access, terminal operations and to deal with thousands of units, will be in full swing. Windows Mobile phones to adopt the spring of 2009 and KDDI mobile phone for all PHS will be provided by Willcom, and will be accessible on a smartphone from a wide range of service areas.
