Savant Systems Announces ROSIE Multifunction Server
September 2007
Osterville, MA. – Savant Systems LLC, with a visionary approach to home
automation that emphasizes reliability and a maintenance-friendly open platform, has announced
that the ROSIE Server is in development for future release.
The multifunctional ROSIE Server delivers three key services within the Savant architecture:
- Touchpanel UI server (up to 8 independent interfaces)
- iTunes®-based digital media server (featuring up to 3 TB of storage)
- Application server
The ROSIE Server is the most versatile multifunctional, reliable and flexible solution for even the
most demanding home entertainment and control installations. The ROSIE Server is built upon
the fastest, most powerful, most configurable architecture available on the market today. Every
ROSIE Server harnesses the power of two multicore Xeon® processors—the fastest Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® available with groundbreaking 8-core power.
Touchpanel UI Server
The multifunctional ROSIE Server is Savant’s intelligent and configurable touchpanel userinterface
distribution server. The ROSIE Server supports up to eight independent user interfaces,
such as Savant’s family of in-wall touchpanels or the newly announced and spectacular Coffee
Table Touchpanel Controller.
iTunes®-Based Digital Media Server
The ROSIE Server provides the best of both worlds–multifunctional server plus rich iTunes®
content from the most popular digital jukebox in the world! By integrating iTunes® media with
the Savant architecture, the ROSIE Server creates a solution that provides access to all iTunes®
content–music, movies, TV shows, Internet radio, audiobooks, and podcasts. You can easily
enjoy audio in any room equipped with ROSIE interfaces. For instance, the ROSIE remotes
allow you to easily navigate through music, photos, and videos via Savant’s Rotating Icons OSD
and touchscreens. Furthermore, iTunes® content from other networked ROSIE servers can be
easily accessed and shared.
