Angstrom Microsystems (ANGS) has developed innovative technologies to combat rising energy prices. As computers continue to increase in performance, the amount of energy required continues to rise. By using Angstrom’s liquid cooling, ultra-efficient power technologies and acceleration software, businesses can substantially decrease their computing costs by reducing the power needed.
Angstrom has uniquely positioned itself as a Green Computing solutions company as it provides environmentally friendly computing solutions that reduce dependence on foreign oils. The Company’s solutions stand out from the competition as they require only minimal change to existing hardware and software configuration. The markets targeted by the company are large and growing as the demand for more powerful computing solutions continues to grow.
According to a report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, Data center computers use more power than all of the color televisions in the United Stated. Billions of dollars are wasted every year because of inefficient power and cooling systems. Compounding this desperate need for a solution is the increasing demand for higher performance computing squeezed into the same amount of space.
The Company has many high profile customers in the Hollywood space including Pixar, Industrial Light and Magic, Blue Sky Studios, and Fox Films. Other significant clients in various industries include Credit Suisse, DE Shaw, ConocoPhilips, Sega, Matsu****a, and EAD Airbus.
