Press Release Summary: Virtual appliance for MediaWiki

Press Release Body: Start-up delivers an inexpensive and simple way to evaluate and
deploy server software for Mac OS X users.

(PRWEB) August 16, 2007 -- JumpBox, Inc. an innovative provider of virtual
appliances, announces the public release of its JumpBox 1.0 line of server
applications for VMWare Fusion. JumpBoxes allow for quick and simple deployment of
Open Source server-based applications. The JumpBox platform bundles the entire
application stack into a turn-key, pre-configured unit that runs on top of
virtualization software. Where typical deployment of a server-based application
would take a technician several hours or even days, a JumpBox takes minutes.

\"JumpBox makes the installation of Open Source server software for the Mac \'drag and
drop\' simple,\" said Kimbro Staken, Co-founder and CEO of JumpBox. \"With JumpBox,
setting up a Wiki for use by a small team takes just minutes, and the same
experience can be had for content management, project management and blogging. Once
you\'ve installed one JumpBox, you know how all of them work\"

The company\'s first JumpBox was for the vTiger Customer Relationship Management
system, and they have since added nine more JumpBoxes for: Drupal, Joomla!,
MediaWiki, DokuWiki, PunBB, Wordpress, SugarCRM, TWiki and Trac/Subversion.
Deployment is quick and requires minimal technical skill. By facilitating faster
deployment, lower costs and overhead and fewer headaches, JumpBoxes let people focus
on using server software, not worrying about getting it to work properly.

\"Until now, Open Source server applications have been this mysterious treasure trove
of productivity reserved for a few technically-savvy people,\" said Sean Tierney,
JumpBox Co-founder and COO. \"With JumpBox we bring these applications within reach
of the non-technical user and make them as easy to use as double-clicking a file.\"

Over the next several months, JumpBox will be aggressively adding to its library of
applications to further help professionals and companies alike achieve their
objectives by leveraging open source, server-based software.
