Actually, people normally have two BES's and one DB for disaster recovery/continuity plans. Each has it's own SRP keys and ID, and they are kept in the database. Moving users between BlackBerry Servers then becomes a simple matter of right-clicking and selecting "move users". If you then combine this with database replication, you can switch databases in case of an outage, and still move users with minimal downtime.

As to why move users, you can also use it for load balancing between servers.
