Code morpher Transitive dives into Red Hat Exchange “Transitive, however, has mostly made a name for itself letting customers run Solaris for SPARC software on x86 and Itanium processors without modification and helping shift software written for PowerPC-based Macs to Intel-based systems via Rosetta.” By Ashlee Vance

Transitive announces Quicktransit virtualization for Solaris “Transitive has demonstrated success with its powerful solutions and this latest release will likely contribute to increased strong demand for the QuickTransit line, further strengthening the company’s market positioning for the long term.” By Susan J Campbell |

Transitive rejiggers emulation software, adds partners “The positioning of the products is focusing on moving Solaris/SPARC workloads to other platforms at the moment – since this is what QuickTransit is mostly used for outside of the 10 million people using Intel-based macs today. But it could be extended to cover other Unixes, backports of Linux applications to Unix, or to and from mainframe or other proprietary environments. It all depends on how much a platform provider wants to work with Transitive to make it all happen.” By Timothy Prickett-Morgan |

Sun SPARC defectors tap Transitive for Linux migrations “There is an aging SPARC customer market out there who can use this and easily move to a lower-cost platform and see a performance increase of two to four times with the new x86 servers that have dual and quad-core processors. It is like moving from an old car to a Ferrari.” By Bridget Botelho |
Transitive QuickTransit – Hardware Virtualization that Takes the Pain out of Migrations “QuickTransit isn’t a vendor solving a problem of its own creation, it’s a vendor offering technology designed to help organizations liberate themselves.” By Dan KusnetzkyZDnet 07/18/07 |

“Take, for example, a five-year-old Solaris app running on a grizzled UltraSPARC chip. Move that software over to a fresh x86 box, and you're going to see a dramatic speedup. So, customers running lots of legacy or homegrown code who don't want to deal with a recompile or with crafting software for a new architecture can jump on QuickTransit and take advantage of the latest and greatest x86 hardware.” By Ashlee Vance |

Sun Backs QuickTransit for Sparc to X64 Migration “Transitive and its channel partners will sell this QuickTransit variant, and it could turn out that Sun does as well. Sun might even go so far as to do what IBM is doing with the PAVE environment for System p--giving it away for free, even though the company has to pay Transitive for each license. Sun would be wise to provide QuickTransit for Solaris on each and every Galaxy server." By Timothy Prickett Morgan |

IBM Beta Paves the Way for Linux on System P Servers “The development and beta release of this technology are very significant,” Brad Day, a Forrester Research analyst, told LinuxInsider … This would be a good first step to at least provide the ability to consolidate Linux/x86 binaries and workloads onto one very scalable Power-based franchise," he continued. "If they want to move to the native port, and join the other 2,800 applications that have been natively ported to take full advantage of the steroids performance of Power-based machines, they can do that as well." By Walaika Haskins |
IBM Opens Beta for PAVE Linux Runtime on Power Chips “PAVE is not just for moving over code that was compiled on an X86 machine. But that's not the cool part. The resulting binary code that has been compiled in PAVE in a 32-bit mode can be moved over to a real X86 chip and it will run, unchanged. This is hard to believe.” By Timothy Prickett Morgan |

IBM will support x86 Linux apps on System p servers “Egil Fujikawa Nes, sales and marketing manager of WebDeal Hosting, says his company was impressed with p AVE during the three weeks they tested it. The company, which manages Web projects for small to medium-sized businesses, says at least 80% of its clients have issues with applications that refuse to run on anything but x86 systems. "From our point of view, this is a great advantage," he says. "It's a good solution with good scalability, lots of possibilities, and good performance. PHP is especially well supported." He says the best thing about System p AVE is the ability consolidate servers effectively. "Now instead of having multiple boxes running the things our clients need, we can build everything into one box. It's great." By: Lisa Hoover |

IBM beta lets x86-based Linux apps run on Series p Unix servers “Jonathan Eunice, an analyst at Illuminata Inc. in Nashua, N.H., said the idea is especially useful for applications that are hard to port. "This is the last-mile enabler" for applications that are not yet natively ported for Linux on Power-based servers, Eunice said. "You can do it this way and not have to wait for ISVs" to port their applications for the hardware. "It's a technical bridge to make it work."” By Todd Weiss |

“By enabling immediate software migration to chosen strategic server platforms, we believe that Transitive can help eliminate much of the difficulty and expense that companies face when upgrading hardware.”
