November 22, 2006—Angstrom Microsystems, a leader in high performance computing, has announced its Green Computing Initiative, designed to make mainstream data centers more efficient through next generation cooling and power efficiency technologies.
Angstrom is introducing AMS LiquiCool, a liquid cooling technology that reduces air-conditioning needs by over 75%, according to the company.
Using a data-center-safe and environmentally friendly fluid, Angstrom cost-effectively replaces inherently inefficient air cooling with a highly flexible and scalable solution for the data center. LiquiCool extends the life span of existing data centers with minimal, if any, modification to the data center.
Angstrom blade servers are not beholden to restrictions within the data center. Since Angstrom LiquiCool blades do not require additional air-conditioning, they may be placed external to the data center, running silently without large fans.
Angstrom Microsystems builds highly efficient data center server and workstation solutions for the high-performance computing (HPC) market. Its clients include Industrial Light and Magic, Pixar, EADS, and National Institutes of Health.
