What Is JumpBox? 

A JumpBox is a virtual computer that bundles an entire server based application stack into a single unit that makes it much easier to use. The goal with a JumpBox is to save you as much time as possible by getting you up and running quickly and then giving you all the basic tools that are needed to keep you running. You can learn much more from this page: http://www.jumpbox.com/jumpbox-open.
