Transitive(R) Joins TSANet to Enhance Customer Experience and Integrate Global Support With Strategic Alliance Partners
Cross-Platform Virtualization Leader Joins Global Technology Giants in Multi-Vendor Enterprise Customer Support Network
| Quelle: Transitive
LOS GATOS, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - Transitive® Corporation, the leading
provider of cross-platform virtualization software, today announced that it
has joined TSANet, the high technology industry's largest vendor-neutral
support alliance. Membership in TSANet will allow Transitive to collaborate
with its partners and other TSANet members in resolving joint customer
service incidents. Transitive, which built the award-winning
QuickTransit® enterprise cross-platform virtualization products, sells
these directly and through global distributors that include Fujitsu-Siemens
Computers, HP and Red Hat.
TSANet is a worldwide, vendor-neutral infrastructure that provides the
legal framework and contact database. Using the TSANet process, members
agree to collaborate when a multi-vendor problem exists. TSANet allows
partners to have a common entry point when contacting partners' support
centers in multi-vendor support incidents. TSANet is a behind-the-scenes
process, and end-users are typically unaware that TSANet is being used as a
mechanism of communication for the solution to their problem.
"Fast, effective customer service is essential for enterprise software
vendors, and Transitive is no exception," said Bob Wiederhold, CEO of
Transitive. "We have joined TSANet to facilitate rapid resolution of any
problems that might arise in a QuickTransit installation, regardless of
whether the first call comes to us or to one of our partners. Getting a
customer's issues resolved quickly and completely is the primary
objective."
"We're very pleased to have Transitive join our multi-vendor support
network," said Dennis Smeltzer, executive director of TSANet. "We live in
an ever-expanding multi-vendor world, and the industry is continually
challenged when it comes to customer support. We believe, and the last
decade-and-a-half of experience supports, that establishing collaborative
relationships is a powerful and essential aid in raising customer
satisfaction."
Transitive's QuickTransit® cross-platform virtualization solutions allow
software applications to run on any hardware platform without any source
code or binary changes and at speeds comparable to native ports. By
deploying QuickTransit on the latest computing platforms, enterprise data
center managers can replicate workloads that were previously tied to a
single hardware platform and run them unmodified, without incurring the
costs and delays of porting projects, and without disruption to end users.
Such quick and easy workload replication provides the basis for
cost-effective business continuity solutions, including disaster recovery,
scalability and dynamic workload re-balancing.
To address the most typical customer deployments, Transitive offers three
configurations of its QuickTransit product line: QuickTransit Workstation
is intended for use on desktop and laptop PCs; QuickTransit Server is used
for large-scale datacenter consolidation projects; and QuickTransit Legacy
is a specialized version for application re-hosting from very old legacy
hardware running operating system versions that are no longer supported.
Evaluation versions of QuickTransit can be downloaded from the Transitive
