IBM's Transitive buy presents interesting server options
,----[ Quote ]
| Like so many of IBM's moves, the acquisition of Transitive appears to be both
| an offensive and defensive move at the same time. More on that in a bit. But
| first, let's review what QuickTransit was when it was launched in September
| 2004 and how it has been used since then.
|
| [...]
|
| * QuickTransit for Itanium: supported MIPS, Power/PowerPC, X86, and
| mainframe binaries
| * QuickTransit for Opteron: supported MIPS, Power/PowerPC, and mainframe
| binaries
| * QuickTransit for X86: supported MIPS, Power/PowerPC, and mainframe
| binaries
| * QuickTransit for Power/PowerPC: supported MIPS, X86, and mainframe
| binaries

Teaching Everyone to Speak Big Blue

| With Transitive’s technology, it would be very easy for I.B.M. to step up
| existing efforts to lure H.P. and Sun customers to its own servers. And if
| those other translation programs languished in I.B.M.’s vault, well, no one
| at Big Blue would shed any tears.
