Virtual appliance wizard, JumpBox, Inc., has announced the launch of JumpBox Open, a service that will give users subscription access to their collection of easy-to-deploy virtual appliances for Open Source applications.

The announcement was made at the Under the Radar: The Business of Web Apps conference. JumpBox Open represents a departure for the firm who previously sold their applications and services individually.

JumpBox, provider of virtual appliances to simplify server software deployment, has just released six new appliances for open source products. The JumpBox library has been bolstered with new applications for Cacti networking graphing system, phpBB bulletin boards, ProjectPier project management, TikiWiki, PmWiki, and MoinMoin- another Wiki product.

The total number of JumpBox appliances now stands at twenty.

The fun never stops for the folks at JumpBox, where they are unveiling an expansion of their product line to include Jumpboxes for Open Source applications: Alfresco, OTRS, Bugzilla, and Mantis.

The people at Jumpbox, Inc. want to know if you have what it takes to join Proving Grounds, where brave participants put it all on the line to… test upcoming JumpBox beta software (hey, this is a techie site, after all)!

The provider of virtual appliances has announced the launch of the JumpBox Proving Grounds, an invite-only beta testing community. Proving Grounds gives members access to new JumpBoxes, special offers and news not otherwise available to the public.

JumpBox, a young, up-and-coming software company, has released an updated version of its JumpBox platform, JumpBox 1.0.

JumpBox is a virtual appliance that bundles server-based applications into a single, pre-configured unit, making open source software implementation as easy as, well, installing Office.

Continuing a trend that began with Office 2007 and was followed by Windows Vista, Microsoft announces that the Beta 3 version of its next generation server operating system is available for download and will go into manufacturing before the end of the year.

Now open source software implementation can be as simple as unwrapping a pretty brown package tied up in string. (And that is one of our favourite things.)

JumpBox has just released two new apps - one for open source darling Joomla, and one for SugarCRM, a customer relationship management resource.

What is JumpBox? We're so happy you asked.
