JumpBox Open - A Virtual Toolkit for IT Admins, Developers and Consultants

Starting at $149 per year

Open Source is free, but it takes significant time and expertise to download, install, configure and maintain. Unfortunately, your time isn't free. Every minute you spend on mundane software installation and maintenance is time you're not spending on more productive activities. JumpBox exists to give you back that time and increase your productivity.

Time is money, save both with JumpBox.

JumpBox simplifies server software deployment with pre-built, pre-configured software applications packaged for deployment on virtualization platforms. Our skilled engineers have packaged the application's software, dependencies, and application data into a single ready to deploy virtual computer that will save you hours or days over the time required to manually install and manage the software. We call these virtual computers, JumpBoxes and each one captures years of system administration experience and best practices in a format that requires minimal technical knowledge to deploy. That translates into time savings and the comfort to know that each deployment is done right, each time, every time.

Invest in JumpBox Open to:

Get your job done faster and easier than ever before.
Quit fighting with software dependencies and compatibility issues. JumpBox takes care of the drudgery of installation and management and let's you focus on more interesting problems.

Decrease software procurement time and respond to business challenges quickly.
Business needs are constantly changing and JumpBox Open let's you react quickly. Mix, match and swap your production instances as your requirements dictate. Run many instances of the same application or run a bunch of different applications, it's entirely up to you.

Explore Open Source software and put the software to work in new ways.
In the past, deploying any of the applications in JumpBox Open would have taken hours or even days, with a JumpBox it takes just minutes. With this extreme ease of deployment and the fact you have a fully isolated installation; you're free to experiment and put software to work in ways you've never considered before.

Benefit from the power of Open Source software.
Gain freedom from vendor lock in and benefit from a vibrant community of developers that continually update and enhance the applications. Using a JumpBox takes the pain out of running Open Source but doesn't remove the benefits. You have the full power of the application available to you and if you're ever dissatisfied with the JumpBox for an application you always retain the ability to install the software manually.

Use your entire IT infrastructure to your advantage.
Applications within JumpBox Open deploy locally or hosted to major virtualization platforms and cloud computing systems. The flexibility to deploy applications to the desktop, laptop, server, or cloud allows you to use your expensive hardware resources more effectively. If you choose a plan that includes the ability to run on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing service, you'll have a broad array of powerful Open Source software deployable with just a few mouse clicks and no hardware infrastructure investment at all. It can't get any easier.

Save your limited budget, and gain a return on your investment.
Every time you put a JumpBox to work you're saving hours of time and that can easily translate into hundreds or even thousands of dollars in savings each year. Plans start at just $149 per year so even if it just saves you a few hours per year it will more than pay for itself.
