Installing additional 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 components in an on-premises environment

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

 contains an active instance of 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 that can process device data and establish secure connections.

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

. For example, you can create a server group to direct device connections for 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 and the 

BlackBerry Secure Gateway

 to use the path for the United States 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

.

If a domain includes more than one 

BlackBerry UEM

 instance, the 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 component in each instance runs and processes data. Data is load-balanced across all 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 components in the domain.

High availability failover is available for 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

. If a device is using a secure tunnel and the current 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 component becomes unavailable, the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

 assigns the device to a 

BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus

 component on another 

BlackBerry UEM

 instance. The device resumes use of the secure tunnel with minimal disruption.
