The best computer in the world doesn’t have any value to end-customers unless their ISV and internally developed software runs on it. But getting thousands of ISV and internal development teams to port tens-of-thousands of applications to your computer is not an easy task and can take many years. As a result:

  • Sales of next-generation computers that are based on new processors stall for years because too little software is available on the new computer, and the existing customer base can’t easily migrate to it
  • Programs to migrate customers from a competitor’s installed base are ineffective because key ISV applications are not available on the computer, and internally developed applications are too difficult and expensive to migrate

With Transitive’s QuickTransit products, the barriers to providing a full ecosystem of software applications are dramatically reduced. QuickTransit hardware virtualization technology allows software applications that have been compiled for one processor and operating system to run on another computer with a different processor and operating system without requiring any source code or binary changes. Using QuickTransit technology, computer companies can:

  • Substantially reduce the time to volume-shipments of a new computer because a full ecosystem of ISV and internally developed software is available running through QuickTransit on Day One
  • Substantially reduce the difficulty of migrating a customer from a competitor’s installed base because all applications that run on the legacy computer now run through QuickTransit on the target computer

QuickTransit software allows translated applications to run on the target computer with:

  • Complete transparency
  • Full functionality
  • Graphic and interactive performance that is transparent to the user
  • Computational performance that is about 80% of what could be natively achieved on the new server, which is often faster performance than on the old one

“ Most enterprises have deployed a diversity of platforms within their IT infrastructure, based on a number of chip types, over time. The technology solution that Transitive has provided creates a different path for customers who want to migrate key applications from one server platform to another, as they work to consolidate workloads and to virtualize workloads across the enterprise. ”
