21 April 2008 - Thanks to Convergence, i 6.1 Shops Get PAVE Linux x86 Emulation
So you have an iSeries or System i server or you are looking to buy or upgrade to a new Power 520, 550, 570, or 595 server, and you also want to consolidate some Linux workloads onto your machine to reduce complexity and make better use of the iron you invest lots of dough in. The only problem is that some of the Linux applications you have only run on X86 processors.
PAVE is a productized version of Transitive's QuickTransit emulation software, which in this case allows X86-Linux binaries to run unchanged on Power-based AIX or Linux servers. The QuickTransit tool is very sophisticated, and can in theory take any mainframe, Unix, or Linux workload and deploy it to another Unix or Linux server equipped with the emulator. QuickTransit is being used by Apple Computer to allow applications coded for PowerPC Macs to run on X64 machines, and it works.

This lets users run almost all Linux/x86 binaries unmodified and without recompilation upon migration to the System p platform, Transitive says.
