BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 planning information

The 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 must be installed on a dedicated computer that is reserved for technical purposes, instead of a computer that is used for everyday work. The computer must be able to access the Internet and your company directory. You cannot install the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 on a computer that already hosts an on-premises 

BlackBerry UEM

 instance. 

The computer that hosts the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

6 processor cores, 2.7 GHz
12 GB of available memory
64 GB of disk space

If you enable single-service performance mode, the computer that hosts the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 must meet the following minimum hardware requirements: 

To verify that your environment meets the requirements for installing the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

, see the Compatibility matrix.

Each 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 can support up to 5000 devices. You can install additional 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

s to support up to 50,000 additional devices. 

You can install one or more instances of the 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 to provide redundancy. You must install each instance on a dedicated computer. Use the same company directory configuration for all instances. 

Deploy more than one 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 in a server group to allow for high availability and load balancing. 

Optionally, you can designate each 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 in a server group to handle a single connection type: 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 only, 

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

 only, or 

BlackBerry Proxy

 only. This frees up server resources to allow fewer servers required for the same number of users or containers. Each 

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

 enabled for single-service performance mode can support up to 10,000 devices.
