Leading European Retailer Cactus SA Deploys QuickTransit(R) to Extend the Productive Life of Critical Enterprise Applications

AUGSBURG, GERMANY--(Marketwire - November 12, 2008) - Transitive® Corporation, the leading provider of cross-platform virtualization solutions, today announced that prominent Luxembourg retailer Cactus SA has deployed Transitive's innovative QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64 solution to re-host several of its most important enterprise applications on Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMERGY systems with Linux.

"We are pleased to welcome Cactus as a QuickTransit customer, and appreciate the role that our partners at Fujitsu Siemens Computers played in successfully deploying this cross-platform virtualization solution in record time," said Bob Wiederhold, CEO of Transitive. "As a result, Cactus has been able to rapidly benefit from the cost savings and enhanced productivity made possible by QuickTransit."

"We are strongly impressed by the PRIMERGY/Linux and QuickTransit Solaris transition solution of Fujitsu Siemens Computers," said Serge Dublet, Head of IT at Cactus SA. "The easy transfer of our old Solaris-based SAP R/3 applications to industry open standards with Intel® Xeon® processor-based PRIMERGY systems and Linux -- without any need for costly re-coding efforts -- was our biggest surprise. The new environment will start saving money immediately."

Transitive's QuickTransit cross-platform virtualization solutions enable 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 enterprise server 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. Furthermore, such comparatively easy workload replication can provide the basis for more cost-effective business continuity solutions, including disaster recovery, application 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 Web site at: http://www.transitive.com/evaluate.

Transitive also offers a free Adobe® Reader® solution for Solaris/x86 users requiring fully-functional Portable Document Format (PDF) viewing capabilities. QuickTransit for Solaris/x86 with Adobe Reader can be downloaded from the Transitive Web site at: http://www.transitive.com/reader.

Transitive will participate in the VISIT 2008 conference for Fujitsu Siemens enterprise customers in Augsburg, Germany during November 12-13, 2008.
