JumpBox has released its JumpBox line of server applications for Virtual Iron Software's server virtualization platform. The new appliances allow users to deploy open source, server-based applications on Virtual Iron environments in shorter time than it would normally take them. JumpBoxes for Virtual Iron are available immediately for download at http://www.jumpbox.com/product.

JumpBoxes allow for quick and simple deployment of open source server-based applications. The JumpBox platform bundles the entire application stack into a turn-key, pre-configured unit that runs on top of virtualization software such as Virtual Iron. Where typical deployment of a server-based application would take a technician several hours or even days, a JumpBox takes just minutes.

The JumpBox library currently contains virtual appliances for a number of open source applications including Drupal, Joomla!, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, PunBB, Wordpress, SugarCRM, TWiki, and Trac/Subversion. Deployment is quick and requires minimal technical skill. Value-added features such as automated backups and a consistent Web-based control panel also simplify usage for users. By facilitating faster deployment, lower costs and overhead and fewer headaches, JumpBoxes let people focus on their jobs, not worrying about getting software to work properly.
