JumpBox for OpenFire 1.1.5

JumpBox for OpenFire 1.1.5 offers users a full-featured appliance that deploys locally, or hosted to major virtualization, and cloud computing platforms.

A JumpBox bundles the operating system with the application and all its dependencies into a single ready to run bundle. This allows you to focus on working with the application while not having to worry about getting it installed. It also means that the application can be deployed on any x86 platform regardless of what platform the application is written for. All that is required is the JumpBox, some virtualization software like VMware, a network that assigns dynamic IP addresses (most do), and a computer with enough RAM and disk space.

OpenFire is a real-time collaboration server based around the open Jabber XMPP protocol. It provides private and public instant messaging and group chat with support for any client that supports Jabber. Popular Jabber enabled clients include iChat, Adium, Trillium and Pidgin among many others. It's a powerful platform for real-time collaboration with solid security and performance. There's no easier way to get OpenFire running than to use a JumpBox.

This JumpBox is based on the 1.1 JumpBox Platform and includes a backup system that supports archiving the state of the JumpBox to NFS, Windows File Shares and Amazon S3.

1. An intuitive user interface to quickly guide users through deployment.
