Hi All,

I have an architecture question about BDS 6.2 to support BB10 devices for Exchange. In the past with BES 5.x and earlier we would typically locate the BES server in the same datacenter as the Exchange servers. So for example if I had Exchange in Toronto and in Vancouver I would likely have a BES in each location.

So how is this architected for BDS 6.2? It now connects to Exchange via 443 and ActiveSync, so if my network was fast enought to support it would you just have one BDS server in say Toronto and it would connect over the WAN to the Vancouver Exchange servers?

Or would servers local still be recommended? I know there are may other factors to consider I am just looking to see if anyone has thought about this and has best practices or reasons for one architecture vs another.

Thanks!
