TeamOn Systems Inc. has decided to consolidate and host three BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances in Germany to service its international BlackBerry device users. How should the BlackBerry…

Question

Options

• AAll three locations spread evenly across the three BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances
• BTwo BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances dedicated to host Australia, one for Hong Kong and Texas
• CTwo BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances dedicated to host Texas, one for Australia and Hong Kong
• DOne BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance dedicated for each location

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  13% (3)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  78% (18)

Explanation

Option D is correct because BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) best practices - and regulatory data sovereignty requirements - dictate that each distinct geographic location should have its own dedicated BES instance. This ensures that user data for Australia, Hong Kong, and Texas each routes through a server instance aligned to that region's compliance requirements, administrative boundaries, and network policies.

Options A, B, and C are wrong for the same fundamental reason: they all split or share BES instances across multiple geographic locations, which creates regulatory compliance violations (each region has different data handling laws), complicates administration, and can degrade performance by mixing user populations from disparate regions on a single server.

Memory tip: Think "one location, one BES" - even when consolidating hardware to a central data center like Germany, each logical BES instance must still map 1:1 to a geographic user population. Consolidation refers to hosting location, not to merging user groups onto shared instances.
