What are Virtual Appliances?
Virtual appliances are revolutionizing the way enterprise software is developed, deployed, and managed. Customers can easily install and deploy virtual appliances for pre-integrated solution stacks that speed up time to value and simplify software management.
Virtual Appliance Overview
Virtual appliances are pre-built, pre-configured, ready-to-run enterprise applications packaged along with an operating system inside a virtual machine. Customers receive pre-configured, self-contained, and optimized application stack that are easy to deploy and manage. Because RURO's Virtual Appliances is packaged using Open Virtual Machine Format, customers can deploy the same virtual appliance on a virtualization platform of their choice thus giving them the ultimate freedom of not be locked into one platform.
Enhanced security
Our Virtual Appliances run on JeOS (pronounced “Juice”) - Just enough Operating System - and less vulnerable to security breaches. A JeOS is a stripped down version designed to support the specific workload it runs. Since JeOS only includes the programs and components required to successfully support ezColony application, it occupies a much smaller footprint compared to general purpose operating systems and therefore fewer attack vectors are exposed.
Easier IT management
By running Virtual Appliances, customers need not worry about their dependence on 3rd party tools for IT management.
