Using GroupWise Mobile Server, you can synchronize Personal Information Manager (PIM) and e-mail data from Novell® GroupWise to Windows* CE, Windows Mobile*-based Smartphones, Symbian* OS, Palm OS* handheld devices, BREW devices, and SyncML* devices.

GroupWise Connector
Mobile device synchronization
NOTE:GroupWise Mobile Server requires a database such as Sybase* ASA or SQL Server to operate. If no database is present, Sybase ASA is available on the installation download, and you can use it for installations with about 1000 users. For a production environment with more than 1000 users, you should use SQL Server 2000 (Service Pack 3). This full-version database environment offers expanded support for a large number of simultaneously connected clients. If you choose to use SQL Server, it should be installed prior to installing GroupWise Mobile Server.
GroupWise Mobile Server includes several important features to help you access your GroupWise data and to help you manage your GroupWise Mobile system. These include:
Synchronization with Palm OS, Windows CE, Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, Symbian OS, syncML devices, and BREW devices.
You can access your e-mail, calendar entries, address book, and to-do lists from any Web browser or Internet-ready mobile phone.
For supported devices, you can set up the Push feature so your device receives new mail as it comes in, without any intervention from you.
You can connect GroupWise Mobile Server to one or more GroupWise POAs.
If you have users on multiple POAs, GroupWise Mobile Server uses GroupWise redirecting to find the users on other POAs during the initial search for the users. GroupWise Mobile Server always connects to the POA that the users are on.
You can use the Secure Gateway to configure GroupWise Mobile Server behind your corporate firewall, providing added security.
A single point of administration to easily manage your system, as well as remote administration.
The ability to cluster GroupWise Mobile Server or the Secure Gateway.
The ability to clear a device through the management console.
