Movable Type is a fully integrated, scalable, proven social publishing platform upon which to build highly interactive websites, blogs and social networks.

This open source version of Movable Type was designed as an extensible open platform that software developers can use to build and develop websites and blogs. Fast, strong and secure, Movable Type is the most robust open source blog software on the market. The core Movable Type platform has API's that make it easy to add new features and functionality.

The JumpBox provides a basic installation of Movable Type setup with a single blog on the root URL of the system. It's highly recommended that you keep that blog and customize it for your needs rather than starting from scratch. From there you can add other blogs fairly easily.

This JumpBox is based on the 1.1 JumpBox Platform and includes a backup system that supports archiving the state of the JumpBox to NFS, Windows File Shares and Amazon S3.

JumpBox simplifies your server software deployments with pre-built, pre-configured virtual applications that deploy in minutes.

A JumpBox packages an application's software, dependencies, and application data into a single virtual application that deploys locally, or hosted to major computing, virtualization, and cloud computing platforms. Swiftly deploy on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems to virtualization platforms like VMware, Xen, Parallels, Virtual Iron, Microsoft Virtualization, and Amazon EC2.

Among other enhanced features, a JumpBox provides:
  • An intuitive user interface to quickly guide users through deployment.
  • A web-based control panel for simplified management of system functions.
  • A backup system that enables data security and portability.

Save up to 70% of the time, expense, and frustration of deploying server software with a JumpBox, over 20,000 are in use worldwide.
