JumpBox is a virtual appliance platform that simplifies the deployment of server software on
local machines. By utilizing virtual machines and cleverly packaging an operating system, web server, database, application, and any necessary
additional libraries or components into a single appliance, JumpBox has made the process of deploying server software exceptionally simple. Instead of

JumpBox
currently offers virtual appliances for Joomla, Drupal, SugarCRM, vTiger CRM, MediaWiki, TWiki, DokuWiki, PunBB, Trac/Subversion and Wordpress. A
number of new appliances are planned for beta testing in the next few weeks, including TikiWiki and Bugzilla.
JumpBox, which
launched on July 19 of this year, has attracted over 200 customers that pay for premium services, like technical support, and value added features
such as a built in backup and restore mechanism. They currently support virtualization software from XEN, VMWare, and Parallels. Tomorrow they will be
announcing a partnership with Microsoft to make JumpBox appliances compatible with Microsoft's Virtual PC and Virtual Server software. Next week,

25.02.2007Licensing issues for Symantec dings Intel vPro
Symantec has delayed its virtualized security system for Intel's vPro platform because of licensing issues around Windows CE.
The delay is the latest setback for vPro, a bundle of Intel technologies aimed at business users. Among vPro's capabilities are
virtualization--which is built into the Core chips used in vPro--and the ability for management tools to access features that are outside the control
of the main operating system.
The vPro brand, along with the Viiv consumer platform, was part of Intel's attempt to recreate the
success of the Centrino mobile wireless platform for laptops. In July, Intel said it will begin de-emphasizing vPro and Viiv from next year, in favor
of the better-known Core brand.

07.01.2007VMWare Eyes Virtual Appliances to Combat Software Bloating
With today's operating
systems ever increasing in
size and complexity, a result
of the wide variety of
applications and usage
situations they must support,
maintenance of the codebase
against bugs and security
vulnerabilities becomes ever
harder. Fortunately, VMWare
thinks it has a solution;
VMWare co-founder and chief
scientist Mendel Rosenblum
said in a keynote at
Linuxworld in San Francisco
that corporations should eye
virtual appliances as a way to
create a highly customized
platform to run their
applications. Instead of
customizing applications to
suit the target OS, Rosenblum
advised, developers should
consider creating a custom
operating system.
" "Rather than making your
application run on a bunch of
different operating systems,
you choose one operating
system. You bundle it together
and you ship this thing around
as a virtual appliance. "
And an application specific
operating system doesn't just
cut back on the potential
number of bugs and security
flaws: developers can also add
features that for instance
increase the software's
performance.

Portuguese, German, Spanish,
Dutch, Italian, French and
Canadian French. " IBM is

experiment in enhancing the
customer experience is
well-received, we'll expand
it by adding more staff and
