Transitive(R) Joins Interop Vendor Alliance to Accelerate Deployment of Cross-Platform Virtualization in Enterprise Datacenters
Collaboration Simplifies Interoperability for Enterprise Customers Using Microsoft(R) and Transitive Products on Standards-Based Computing Platforms
| Source: Transitive
LOS GATOS, CA--(Marketwire - September 22, 2008) - Transitive® Corporation, the leading
provider of cross-platform virtualization solutions, today announced it has
joined the Interop Vendor Alliance, a community of software and hardware
vendors working to enhance interoperability with Microsoft systems.
Transitive's participation in the Interop Vendor Alliance underscores its
resolve to facilitate enterprise customer deployment of applications with
Microsoft systems.
"Microsoft is pleased to welcome Transitive into the Interop Vendor
Alliance," said Sam Rosenbalm, director, Interop Vendor Alliance for
Microsoft. "Transitive's cross-platform virtualization solution is an
important addition to the alliance which benefits our mutual customers."
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
datacenter 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.
"Transitive has a strong track record of working with industry leaders to
bring the benefits of cross-platform virtualization to customers," said Ian
Robinson, vice president of marketing for Transitive. "The collaborative
spirit of the Interop Vendor Alliance is very much in keeping with our goal
to enable the standardization and consolidation of computing resources in a
fully-virtualized datacenter environment."
To address the most typical customer deployment scenarios, Transitive
offers three configurations of its QuickTransit enterprise products:
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 older legacy hardware running operating system versions
that are no longer supported. The QuickTransit enterprise product line
includes QuickTransit for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Solaris™/x86-64,
QuickTransit for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64 and QuickTransit
for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/Itanium®.
The QuickTransit product line is available from Transitive and its global
distribution partners, which include HP, Fujitsu Siemens Computers and Red
Hat. 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:
