King’s College Hospital Rejuvenates Legacy Application With Rapid Deployment of QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64

Hospital Transplants Integration Engine Software From 12-Year-Old Hardware to New HP ProLiant Server With Transitive’s Award-Winning QuickTransit® Hardware Virtualization Solution

LONDON, UK – August 6, 2007 – Transitive® Corporation, the leading provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system pairs, today announced that King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has deployed Transitive’s innovative QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64 solution to extend the useful life of its Trust Integration Engine application, which is used to manage patient records.

“eGate is the core of systems integration at King’s College Hospital.  Running on 166MHz SPARC-based hardware with increasing user demands, eGate was struggling with 100% CPU load,” said Gary McAllister, integration technical lead at King’s College Hospital. “Using QuickTransit, we are now hosting eGate on a manageable Linux environment with the increased hardware capabilities needed to move forward. Using Mono on Linux, we are now also able to gather real-time integration status straight from the engine. This is a major improvement to system monitoring and availability.”

 “In healthcare, as in many other industries, popular applications often outlive the hardware they were originally installed on by many years, so the option of using QuickTransit for fast and easy application migration to new hardware platforms is very appealing,” said Ian Robinson, vice president of Marketing for Transitive Corporation. “The King’s College Hospital Trust Integration Engine is a great example of an important application that has been liberated from legacy hardware and rejuvenated through deployment via QuickTransit on a modern industry-standard platform.”

The IT team at King’s College Hospital deployed QuickTransit on an HP ProLiant server equipped with Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor technology.

“Moving from outdated legacy SPARC server platforms to more powerful and cost-effective HP ProLiant servers can now be achieved seamlessly, as QuickTransit takes on the challenge of legacy application migration,” said Scott Farrand, vice president of Industry Standard Server Software at HP. “King’s College Hospital provides a great example of how companies can easily migrate from legacy hardware with these tools and realize the many benefits derived from industry standard servers, without incurring the costs or disruption of software porting projects.”
