JumpBox vTiger CRM project is a JumpBox virtual appliance with a pre-configured installation of the vTiger CRM system.

Once upon a time, in the raw and exciting days when automobile technology was in its infancy, taking a road trip meant bringing a mechanic along to fix the car every time it broke down. At JumpBox we look at the current state of IT systems and see great similarity with the early automobile.

Today, if you want to deploy and run a server based application you need a mechanic to come along to keep it running. With the automobile, as time passed, the technology improved, cars became vastly more reliable and many more people were able to take to the road.

With JumpBox we’re looking to do the same for server based software. We simplify what has traditionally been complex and deliver server based Open Source applications to an audience that otherwise would be put off by the technical burdens of the old way of doing things.

An integrated software stack in a virtual appliance

A JumpBox bundles the operating system, application and all application dependancies into a single installable module that’s easily deployed using virtualization software from VMWare, Parallels or Xen

Easy to Install

A JumpBox allows you to install a complex server based application without having to know anything about Linux, databases or the command line. You just download, extract the archive and open the application with your virtualization software. Further setup and configuration is handled through a simple web interface.

Simple to manage

The JumpBox platform is pre-configured, tuned and secured to minimize the management needs of the application.

Runs anywhere

Mac OS X, Linux, Windows it doesn’t matter. Thanks to the use of virtualization, JumpBox applications run easily on all the most popular operating systems.

Painless to upgrade

With a JumpBox and the JumpBox Assurance program (launching Q2 2007), management of the system is simple and efficient. Updates to the entire software stack are handled automatically by the platform with minimal user interaction.

Quick to move

With a JumpBox all the application code, data and the runtime are bundled together into a single directory that can easily be moved between systems or even across platforms. This allows you to start using an application by just running it on your desktop. Then when you’re ready you can open it up to the rest of the network and either continue running it on your desktop or easily move it to the server at any time. It doesn’t even matter if the server is running a different operating system, with a JumpBox everything is self contained.

Net::Appliance::Phrasebook is a Perl module for network appliance command-line phrasebook.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Appliance::Phrasebook;

my $pb = Net::Appliance::Phrasebook->new(
platform => IOS,
source => /a/file/somewhere.yml, # optional
);

print $pb->fetch(a_command_alias), "n";

If you use Perl to manage interactive sessions with with the command-line interfaces of networked appliances, then you might find this module useful.

Net::Appliance::Phrasebook is a simple module that contains a number of dictionaries for the command-line interfaces of some popular network appliances.

It also supports the use of custom phrasebooks, and of hiearchies of dictionaries within phrasebooks.

GroundWork Monitor Open Source is a complete availability monitoring solution that ensures IT infrastructure uptime while identifying issues before they become real problems.

Unifies best-of-breed open source tools - Nagios*, Nmap, SNMP TT, PHP, Apache, MySQL and more — through PHP/AJAX-based components and an integrated user interface to deliver the extensible functionality you require.

Virtual Appliances are nano-sized virtual machines with Web user interfaces for deploying instant infrastructure and applications. They are Gentoo Linux based and optimized for use in VMware and Xen.
Virtual Appliances are free to download and use, and you can choose from a simple Web server, an Apache Tomcat server, a MySQL server, and a PostgreSQL server.
Enhancements:
- This Virtual Appliance server runs Cacti, which is a network graphing solution based on RDDTool.
- It is used to provide real-time and historical visualization of network activities.
- The Cacti Server includes onboard MySQL and PHPmyAdmin in a 40MB download package to run under any VMWare product or VirtualPC.
- As with other Virtual Appliances, this Cacti Server can use Virtual Hard drives automatically, which allows for a database of any practical size.

PPort is a simple yet handy automation program and its documented counterpart for interfacing a PC with external devices.

With this bundle, one can control any household appliance or electronic device with minimal hassle and practically no changes

mrtg-ntap-probe can probe for Network Appliance NetCache caching appliance and NetApp Filer.

mrtg-ntap-probe retrieves the disk and file (inode) utilization by volume or quota tree name, so you do not need to find the right OID, which might change over time as you add and/or remove volumes and quota trees.

You need a recent release of mrtg 2.x, perl 5.003 or better, a NetApp NetCache appliance with NetCache release 5.1 or better and/or a Network Appliance Filer running Data Ontap 6.0 or better.

If you have a Network Appliance service contract and access to their software tools library on now.netapp.com, you should also take a look at their mrtg-filer and mrtg-netcache packages!
