JumpBox Helps Non-Techies Navigate Open Source Technologies
Today, JumpBox is launching a new way to run open source server applications, allowing IT administrators to treat server applications collectively as a utility with the convenience of
a SaaS-based offering plus the ability to run your infrastructure on your terms. So JumpBox allows you to run your apps in a hybrid configuration of on-premise, in the cloud or in
a data center.
Of course, an experienced developer can execute the functionality of what JumpBox does but co-founder and CEO Sean Tierney says that JumpBox, which is a subscription-based service, is targeted towards admins who may not be able to develop and run complicated server applications.
JumpBox works with drupal, joomla, mediawiki, PunBB, vTiger, WordPress, SugarCRM, Trac/Subversion, DokuWiki, Nagios, MySQL and LAMP deployment. And currently JumpBox is the largest provider of virtual appliances to server virtualization giant VMware.
