Transitive Information

Transitive Corporation (an IBM company) is a leader in cross-platform virtualization, and its award-winning technology is built into more than 17 million computers worldwide. Transitive's solutions allow software applications that have been compiled for one processor and operating system to run on systems with different processors and operating systems, without any source code or binary changes and at speeds comparable to native ports. As a result, cross-platform virtualization allows IT managers to quickly and easily replicate legacy enterprise applications from the original hardware and run them on modern, standardized platforms without incurring the costs and delays of porting projects, and without disruption to end users. This workload replication helps enterprise customers improve business continuity, including superior disaster recovery, scalability and high-availability solutions. Transitive’s cross-platform virtualization technology is the foundation for Apple’s Rosetta translation software (built into Apple’s Intel-based Macintosh computers) and also for PowerVM Lx86, which is available for IBM Power Systems enterprise servers. Transitive Corporation is located in Los Gatos, California with a research and development team in Manchester, UK.
