Transitive® Ships Enterprise Application Migration Solution: QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64

Hardware Virtualization Solution Available to Enterprise Data Center Managers

LOS GATOS, Calif., – November 6, 2006 – Transitive® Corporation, the leading provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system (OS) pairs, today announced the availability this month of QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64.  The new virtualization solution is the first in a series of QuickTransit software products that enable widespread application migration from Solaris/SPARC legacy hardware to new open source, industry-standard platforms.  Enterprise customers are now able to rapidly retire obsolete IT infrastructure and replace it with more powerful and cost-effective modern platforms, while extending the useful life of key applications.  With QuickTransit technology, they can achieve data center migration and consolidation without the need for any source code or binary modifications.

“QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/x86-64 targets the most common enterprise software migration path — moving from older Solaris/SPARC hardware to the latest x86-based platforms,” said Ian Robinson, vice president of marketing for Transitive.  “QuickTransit makes these highly rewarding migrations fast, easy, and comprehensive, with minimal disruption to end users and without the risks and burdens of traditional recoding or porting approaches.”

Beta releases of QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/x86-64 have been tested at more than 50 customer sites worldwide, spanning a variety of industry sectors, including financial services, telecommunications, defense and government organizations. Several of these customer sites have applications on more than 1000 legacy SPARC servers that are targeted for migration to more powerful and cost-effective industry-standard platforms.

Pricing and Availability
QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/x86-64 will be available this month as an annual subscription license, which includes standard customer support and is priced at $875 per socket on the target system (where sockets represent the number of physical sockets on the system motherboard that are populated with a processor). When deployed within a virtual machine, such as when used with VMware or XenSource products, the QuickTransit pricing is based on a virtual CPU rather than a physical socket.

Upon its release, QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/x86-64 will be downloadable for evaluation or purchase from the Transitive web site (www.transitive.com), and it will also be available through Transitive’s global channel partners, which include MSI Systems Integrators, Inc.( www.msiinet.com) and Zot (www.zot.com ) in North America) and Networld Corporation (www.networld.co.jp) in Japan.
