A JumpBox can be thought of as a “freeze-dried” installation of an application and it’s associated software. This takes much of the pain out of running Open Source server software. It captures the best practices of a skilled IT admin into a simple to deploy package that anyone can use. All that’s required is virtualization software and a whole new world of applications will open to you. Some people call these things Virtual Appliances, but we call them JumpBoxes because they give you a huge Jump Start for running the application.
JumpBoxes are available for a wide array of applications and more are being introduced all the time. To learn more about JumpBox and how they work please visit the main JumpBox website.
