JumpBox: Delivering âOpen Source as a Serviceâ
,----[ Quote ]
| JumpBox, providers of IT infrastructure
| solutions, announced a major upgrade to their
| offering, including the unveiling of their new
| product, which delivers open source server
| applications as a service. Hereâs what
| resellers should know.
|
| âOpen Source as a service,â as JumpBox calls
| it, is exactly what it says on the tin. The
| company now allows 55 of their namesake
| âJumpBoxes,â each one a virtual machine
| containing an open-source server application
| like Ruby on Rails or MySQL, to be deployed in
| on-premise, cloud, and hosted environments.
| The packages can be downloaded directly from
| JumpBox with a paid subscription.

| server (generally Apache), a database server (generally MySQL or PostgreSQL),
| a scripting language (such as PHP, Perl, Python, or Ruby), and other
| essential libraries.

BitNami Adds Modules
,----[ Quote ]
| Previously, each piece of software you installed with BitNami was entirely
| self-contained. For example, if you used their packaging to put both
| WordPress and Drupal on the same server, you'd end up with two copies of
| Apache, two of MySQL, and so on. While this made for easy configuration and
| trouble-free installs, it also had the potential to waste a lot of disk space
| and system resources.
|
| [...]
|
| The new approach makes using BitNami to set up a corporate server with a
| variety of open source software easier than ever.
