Creating server groups and installing 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 instances

You can install one or more instances of the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 to add additional instances of the device connectivity components to your organization’s domain. Each 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 instance contains the following 

BlackBerry UEM

 components: 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

, the 

BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service

, the 

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

, 

BlackBerry Proxy

, and the 

BlackBerry Cloud Connector

.

You can also create server groups. A server group contains one or more instances of the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

. When you create a server group, you specify the regional data path that you want the components to use to connect to the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

. You can associate email and enterprise connectivity profiles with a server group. Any device that is assigned those profiles uses that server group’s regional connection to the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

 when it uses any of the components of the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

.
