"Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM) said Wednesday that BlackBerry service had been restored to most users of the popular wireless e-mail device after an overnight service interruption hit customers across North America. The company said in a statement that it's reviewing the root cause of the disruption, which began Tuesday night, and is "closely monitoring systems to maintain normal service levels". It gave no details on what caused the outage."
Wow. I guess I had no idea every blackberry user was going through RIM's service. I assumed those that purchased the service from the carriers may, but I just assumed corporations that purchased the Blackberry Enterprise Server bypassed all of that. So, is this correct?
Blackberry: Corporate Email Server->Blackberry Enterprise Server->Internet->RIM Centralized Server->Carrier->Device
Windows Mobile: Corporate Email (Exchange) Server->Internet->Carrier (optional)->Device
Which model makes more sense? :wink:
