JumpCloud Soars into Commercial Availability

JumpCloud™, the leading automated server management tool for DevOps and IT pros, today announced the general commercial availability of its automated server management solution. JumpCloud launched its automated server management solution last September at the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco event as a Startup Battlefield finalist. Since that time, hundreds of organizations have deployed JumpCloud, and requests for additional features have helped to iterate, refine, and optimize the solution for DevOps and IT professionals.

"The cloud's elasticity and agility has enabled several new operational models such as DevOps, an IT model that blurs the lines between development and IT operations, as well as consolidates historically segregated management functions to improve efficiency and responsiveness," said Rich Mogull, CEO of Securosis, in What CISOs Need to Know About Cloud Computing.

JumpCloud's mission is to automate the manual, tedious tasks of managing servers so that DevOps and IT pros can focus on what makes their business tick: innovation. JumpCloud has built a platform to execute these tasks, including SSH/privileged user management, admin activity monitoring, patch detection, and compliance. JumpCloud supports servers in the cloud, data center, colo, or hosted as VMs.

JumpCloud customers can now choose to extend their access to critical server management functionality for as little as $10 per month per server, as well as benefit from an hourly pricing rate per server should that be a better match for their scalable infrastructure. As part of the commercial plans, JumpCloud customers receive access to its best-in-class functionality, extended data retention, and phone support.

"JumpCloud has had a major impact on our daily routine. After automating with JumpCloud, we don't have to spend cycles on many of our daily manual server management tasks such as managing users and tracking privileged commands," said Scott Brown, CEO of Bounce.IO. "JumpCloud is simple and efficient, yet powerful. And, because we can focus on delivering our product and not on tedious maintenance tasks, its return on investment was almost immediate."

"Commercially releasing JumpCloud has meant countless hours of team effort interacting with amazing customers, learning about their problems, and the best ways to solve them. I'm incredibly proud of our team's results and honored to work with such great customers," said Rajat Bhargava, President & CEO, JumpCloud. "JumpCloud is solving an incredibly difficult and important problem: how to enable companies to innovate faster."
