Transitive's translation software will be used to let software from rival RISC processors run on Intel's Itanium and Xeon server processors. The partnership is designed to make it easier for customers to scrap competitors' gear in favor of Intel-based systems. "With this relationship with Intel, Intel is funding development and providing us access to engineers so we can accelerate the development of processor-operating system combinations," Transitive Chief Executive Bob Wiederhold said in an interview.

[/i]Of course, Intel misses the point. Why do I run RISC processors and workstations? Because the draw LESS POWER. Hey INTEL, pull your head out of your butt and make processors where I don't have to have my own power substation.[/i]
What's your platform & application and what power savings have you measured?

This allows companies that have made large investments in the iTanic architecture to justify staying with it for upgrades because they can migrate their other applications to a virtual or translated environment on new Xeon or iTanic hardware. Saves face for those not wanting to acknowledge a choice made that didn't necessarily live up to the promises from the HP-Intel hardware sellers.
