Transitive® Joins Itanium Solutions Alliance to Assist ISVs to Expand Platform Coverage to Intel Itanium Systems

ISA Platform Expansion Program Highlighted at First Itanium Solutions Summit

ITANIUM SOLUTIONS SUMMIT, San Francisco, Calif. – September 25, 2006 – – Transitive™ Corporation, the leading provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system (OS) pairs, today announced that it has joined the Itanium Solutions Alliance (ISA) to help facilitate maximum availability of key enterprise applications for Intel Itanium platforms as part of the ISA Platform Expansion Program. The first product to be used in this program will be Transitive’s QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/Itanium, announced in June 2006.

“Obtaining the maximum business benefits from highly-scalable, performance-oriented platforms hinges on how quickly and completely customers can move their application workloads to the new platform,” said Bob Wiederhold, president, and CEO of Transitive Corporation. “Transitive will provide QuickTransit licenses and support to ISA Platform Expansion Program members, so that leading  enterprise ISVs can now offer their customers Solaris/SPARC applications that run immediately – without modification – on any Linux/Itanium-based platform.”

“Transitive’s technology is highly compatible and synergistic with the ISA’s overall mission of transitioning the world of proprietary computing platforms to open, industry-standard solutions based on the Itanium architecture,” said Robin Drummond, president of the Itanium Solutions Alliance. “Transitive provides an enticing incentive for ISVs to join the ISA, and we will be providing loaner systems and access to the Solutions Center Network so that ISVs can see for themselves how easy it can be for their customers to migrate to Itanium.”
