Transitive Ships Sparc/Solaris Emulator, Partners with Hitachi

,----[ Quote ]
| As promised two months ago, Transitive has begun shipping a variant of its 
| QuickTransit application emulation environment that allows applications 
| compiled for Sparc processors running Solaris to be moved to Linux servers 
| based on either X64 or Itanium processors. Transitive and its partners, Intel 
| and Hewlett-Packard, are hoping to cash in on the aging Sparc/Solaris server 
| base, and now Hitachi is joining the fray.     
| 
| Transitive got its start licensing a sophisticated application environment 
| created by Alasdair Rawsthorne, a computer science professor at Manchester 
| University, which was launched as a formal product back in September 2004. 
| The original Transitive model was to sell the emulator to sellers of new 
| Unix-like systems (including Linux and more modern Unix releases) as a means 
| for them to support the legacy applications running on older mainframe and 
| Unix systems. QuickTransit was picked up by Apple Computer as a key 
| technology in its move from Power to X64 processors, and then by Silicon 
| Graphics as it hoped to support MIPS/Irix applications on its Itanium/Linux 
| supercomputers.
