Open Sense Solutions Unveils Revolutionary Computer System That Allows Up to 3 Simultaneous Users
Open Sense Solutions announces it has integrated Linux software and hardware to create Groovix, the world's first multi-user desktop in a single unit offering sound and 3D graphics to each user. By allowing independent keyboards, mice, monitors and speakers, the Groovix system provides up to three simultaneous users with a complete computing experience.

(PRWEB) December 13, 2004 -- Open Sense Solutions announces it has integrated
Linux software and hardware to create Groovix, the world's first multi-user
desktop in a single unit offering sound and 3D graphics to each user. By
allowing independent keyboards, mice, monitors and speakers, the Groovix system
provides up to three simultaneous users with a complete computing experience.
The system's multi-user capabilities make it ideal for home or business
use.
What does this mean for the consumer? As millions of home-based
entrepreneurs can attest, the workload doesn’t disappear the minute the kids hop
off the bus at the end of the school day. What often does, however, is computer
access. With school assignments demanding more research and word processing, and
more people working from home, the demand for family desktop time has never been
higher. In the past, one of the few available options was to purchase a separate
computer for each user. That, says Michael Pardee, Open Sense Solutions LLC
founder, is extremely inefficient. “Separate computers waste space and
electricity, create extra noise and heat and are very expensive from a software,
hardware and maintenance standpoint.”
Enter Groovix. Groovix systems use
Simultaneous Local Independent Multi-User (SLIM) technology to make one computer
function as three from a user’s perspective. File sharing, Internet sharing,
head-to-head gaming and other applications that traditionally have relied on a
computer network are all possible with just one machine.
Groovix’s SLIM
technology efficiently shares today’s ultra-fast processors, memory and hard
drives to provide exceptional speed to each user at a fraction of the cost of
separate systems. Memory can be shared between users since most will be running
the same programs, such as the operating system and web browser. Users can run
business applications, browse the web and play games at the same time. Groovix
systems use open source software, so there is no problem running multiple
versions of software at once. “The cost would be huge,” says Michael, “if you
tried to do this using traditionally licensed ‘for single-user only’ software.
The Groovix system builds on recent advancements in personal computing hardware
and Debian GNU/Linux software to create an extremely capable and cost-effective
solution for multi-user computing.”
Pardee created Vermont-based Open
Sense Solutions LLC in April of 2004 because he saw a need. “The Internet was
flooded with the posts of frustrated users trying to set up specific Linux
desktop hardware and software. They couldn’t find any major companies
integrating the two. I knew I could make Linux more useable for the masses.” The
Groovix computer system evolved from this idea. Creating an optimal
configuration at a reasonable cost, it will open the extensive possibilities of
Linux to more people.
