New JumpBox applications
At JumpBox we have released an update to the vTiger CRM JumpBox and added a new PunBB discussion forums JumpBox. At this time these appliances are suitable for evaluation and testing. With this release we also launched a new web site.
The goal of a JumpBox is to make the installation and maintenance of complex server based software drop dead simple. They bundle the operating system, application and all application dependencies together into a single bundle that is deployed using virtualization software like Parallels or VMWare. This allows the entire software stack to be up and running in about one minute. There’s no easier way to deploy server based software and with the upcoming JumpBox assurance program, there will be no easier way to get support and maintenance for that software.
JumpBox is also looking to collect more feedback on these appliances and virtual appliances in general through the JumpBox forums.
