Transitive® Celebrates Completion of Successful VMware Symposia Campaign by Announcing Apple MacBook Winners

Five VMware Symposia Attendees Win Transitive Prize Draw for Popular Apple MacBook Laptops, Following Worldwide Virtualization Roadshow

LOS GATOS, CA, – July 30, 2007 – Transitive® Corporation, the leading provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system pairs, today announced the winners of its Apple MacBook prize draw, which was held during the recent VMware Symposia virtualization events, at which Transitive was a Silver Sponsor. The five MacBook winners are:

• Margaret Austin, System Manager, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
• Chandra Chegreddy, Advanced Systems Engineer, Delta Technology
• Joe Danso, Lead Systems Engineer, Sears Holdings
• Wesley Hardin, UNIX System Administrator, Dallas Semiconductor
• Herman Poon, LAN/Hardware/Network Analyst, McMaster University

Transitive has been a Select level member of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner program since 2006, and its innovative QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64 solution is frequently deployed by customers within VMware virtualized environments. An evaluation version of QuickTransit is available for download from the Transitive Web site in a pre-built virtual appliance format.

From May through July 2007, Transitive participated in a total of nine VMware Symposia events in the US, Canada, Japan and the UK, which attracted thousands of current and prospective VMware customers. The booth demonstrations included an Apple MacBook laptop running Transitive’s QuickTransit virtual appliance in a beta version of VMware’s forthcoming Fusion product, where native Solaris/SPARC applications were shown running in a virtual machine on an x86-based platform. Since all of Apple’s new-generation Intel-based Macs include the Rosetta translation technology (also developed by Transitive) which allows them to run thousands of applications developed for the older PowerPC-based Mac models, the demonstration  previewed a unique solution capable of running applications created for three different platforms.

 “Transitive’s enterprise customers are discovering that QuickTransit is an excellent fit with VMware virtual infrastructure, because it allows them to consolidate legacy Solaris/SPARC applications along with all of their x86-based workloads, thereby increasing the return on their VMware investment” said Ian Robinson, Vice-President of Marketing for Transitive. “Transitive will continue to work closely with VMware and its channel partners to deliver innovative virtualization solutions for our mutual customers.”

Transitive plans to demonstrate new QuickTransit virtual appliance solutions at the forthcoming VMworld 2007 conference, which will be held during September 11-13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Transitive is a VMworld 2007 exhibitor and will be located at Booth #838.

About Transitive Corporation
Transitive is the leader in providing solutions that allow the transportability of software applications across multiple hardware platforms. The company’s award-winning QuickTransit hardware virtualization solution allows software applications that have been compiled for one processor/operating system to run on a system with a different processor/operating system, without any source code or binary changes and at speeds comparable to native ports. QuickTransit allows data center managers to transport legacy enterprise applications quickly and easily from outdated, proprietary hardware to modern, standardized platforms without incurring the costs and delays of porting projects, and with no disruption to end users. QuickTransit also facilitates computer companies’ migration to new hardware platforms; dramatically reduces software developers’ cost, risk, and time-to-market in supporting multiple hardware platforms; and makes significantly more software available for more hardware platforms.

QuickTransit technology provides the engine for Apple’s Rosetta translation software and is currently shipping on all of Apple’s Intel-based computers. QuickTransit also provides the engine for IBM System p AVE, which will be included with all IBM System p enterprise servers later in 2007
