OneSwitch for BlackBerry™
One button failover and failback for BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ and Mobile Data Services
membersfarmcum.comBlackBerry™ has been deployed by thousands of enterprises to keep their mobile professionals connected to the information and communications they need. When BlackBerry servers go down, important executives and IT users will immediately be cut off from critical communications and information.
Since companies depend on BlackBerry to provide their most important users with real-time access to information, outages can be very damaging and very visible. For IT organizations that want to ensure that BlackBerry services are always available, the BlackBerry architecture makes traditional disaster recovery approaches impractical. For example, it has been impossible to deploy a hot back-up BlackBerry Enterprise Server without violating RIM security policies and locking-out your company’s enterprise account.
As BlackBerry proliferates, CIOs are challenged to deliver BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and Mobile Data Services (MDS) as high availability applications. For most organizations, this requires the ability to quickly failover to redundant servers and infrastructure in a remote data center.
MessageOne OneSwitch for BlackBerry
OneSwitch for BlackBerry is the first high availability solution to provide automated failover and failback of one or more BlackBerry Enterprise Servers with the push of a single button -- without violating RIM security policies or creating an SRP key lockout. By automating complex failover and failback processes, OneSwitch allows companies to deploy hot-backup BlackBerry Enterprise Servers and resume normal operations in less than 2-minutes when their primary server, infrastructure, network, or datacenter fail.
Unlike self-managed high availability solutions that are prone to failure and difficult to remotely manage, OneSwitch for BlackBerry provides fully automated failover and failback that can be activated for any or all BlackBerry Enterprise Servers remotely with the touch of a button.
During normal operation, OneSwitch synchronizes essential data and application configuration information from the primary BES environment to dedicated back-up servers in a second data center. When problems occur in the primary environment — whether hardware, software, network, or datacenter — administrators can failover one or all of the servers in less than 2 minutes with the push of a button or a single phone call. OneSwitch fully automates the failover process by clearing the replication queue, shutting down the services on the primary server, releasing the SRP key, and bringing-up the secondary environment in the proper sequence. When problems occur, OneSwitch fully remediates errors to ensure the highest possible level of availability.
If BlackBerry availability is important to your organization, MessageOne OneSwitch is the only solution that can ensure an effective failover during any crisis or system failure. The service includes web-based and 24x7 expert monitoring of availability and failover readiness.
When combined with OneSwitch for Exchange, OneSwitch provides one-button global failover of your entire messaging environment in less than 15 minutes to ensure that email and BlackBerry are always available.
OneSwitch for BlackBerry provides the following capabilities:
- Guaranteed 1-Click Global Failover – OneSwitch will failover or failback all affected BlackBerry Enterprise Servers and Mobile Data Services in less than 2 minutes with a single push of a button or phone call.
- RIM Security Compliant – OneSwitch is the only high availability solution for BlackBerry that is fully compliant with RIM security policies and best practices. This allows OneSwitch to provide quick failover without triggering a security violation that could lock-out your BlackBerry service account.
