BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM Lotus Domino Performance Benchmarking

BlackBerry Synchronization Service

The BlackBerry Synchronization Service synchronizes contacts, tasks, and memos between the email application
on a user's computer and the user's BlackBerry device using IBM Lotus Domino through the BlackBerry Messaging
Agent. The BlackBerry Synchronization Service also synchronizes message settings and message filters. The
wireless protocol also synchronizes a variety of database configurations, backs up databases on the BlackBerry
device, and synchronizes items when necessary.
Initialization of the BlackBerry Synchronization Service is triggered when items on the BlackBerry device and the
BlackBerry Configuration Database are not synchronized. This initialization can be triggered by activating a
BlackBerry device wirelessly or moving user accounts. The initialization mechanism is also used to initially
synchronize the BlackBerry device and message store, enabling wireless synchronization to occur.
Because the initialization feature is not considered to maintain a steady state load on the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server, its impact on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server performance is not included in this document. There are
load conditions that the initialization places on the system that you should consider when initialization occurs.

BlackBerry Policy Service

The BlackBerry Policy Service pushes IT policies and IT administrative commands to BlackBerry devices wirelessly.
It is also responsible for creating and pushing service books to BlackBerry devices that are being activated
wirelessly and for sending third-party applications to BlackBerry devices wirelessly.
Because the BlackBerry Policy Service is not considered to maintain a steady state load on the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server, its impact on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server performance is not included in this document.

BlackBerry Collaboration Service

The BlackBerry Collaboration Service is designed to keep users in touch with their instant messaging community
when they are connected to the wireless network. The BlackBerry Collaboration Service includes contact list
management, presence awareness, notifications, and emoticons. It also supports the IBM Lotus Sametime®,
Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, and Novell® GroupWise® platforms.
This document does not include benchmarking information for the BlackBerry Collaboration Service.
