No software installation or configuration is required. The major advantage of adding QuickTransit to a virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. strategy is that it extends virtualization benefits to a broader category of applications by including those legacy applications running on proprietary UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). platforms. "Due to the increasing interest in QuickTransit solutions among enterprise data center managers, Transitive has invested in additional, innovative ways to get evaluation versions of the software in front of a larger audience," said Ian Robinson This article is about the Australian.
