How JumpBoxes are Used

Small scale production deployments

You're not going to run a large enterprise on a JumpBox, but for a team of 10-20 people you won't find a simpler, more cost effective solution to getting the software you need.

Run Linux software on Mac OS X or Windows

Open Source server software is often developed on Linux and runs best on Linux. With JumpBox the application is allowed to run in its preferred environment inside a virtual machine, while you're allowed to keep your preferred environment regardless of whether it's Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.

To develop & experiment without breaking anything

JumpBoxes provide a simple, isolated installation – perfect for local testing without the typical anxiety. You can run multiple versions of the application and test various changes with ease.

To cross things off your list

In a matter of minutes, you can knock out those painful software installation projects that have been nagging you for weeks.

To run your project from a coffee shop

Or any other location with an Internet connection for that matter. No server infrastructure? No problem. Fire up a JumpBox and your whole team can easily access it.

To make other departments think you're a hero

From Sales to Development, Marketing to Operations - you can have the best Open Source applications deployed for your company in minutes.

To evaluate Open Source software

With so many Open Source applications available, figuring out the best one for your needs used to be difficult, time intensive and laborious. With JumpBox's ever-expanding library, you can focus on assessing various applications, not getting them installed. If one application doesn’t suit your needs, you can throw it away without losing time or money - there are plenty more where that came from.
