Angstrom Microsystems Inc. (OTCBB: AGMS) focuses on reducing the computing costs in large data centers. According to the company, up to 50% of power is wasted by the time it reaches the main infrastructure. The company’s liquid cooling and efficient power technologies reduce the amount of electricity needed to operate computers in large facilities, making the centers more cost efficient.
Large data centers require more computing systems, greater density of those computing systems and more power for each new generation of microprocessors and memory. In the past, data centers have increased air conditioning to create better air flow, while computer manufacturers have installed high-speed fans to redirect air into the computer racks. Now, Angstrom’s patent pending cooling solutions allow direct 2-phase cooling and redirection of heat from the racks to other locations in the data center.
To provide such needed cooling, the company uses chilled water instead of IBM or HP technologies. Chilled water does not need to cool the rack more than 1 degree Celsius, and heat is removed from the computer through the direct 2-phase technology – without the need for air conditioning. Angstrom’s technology saves data centers high cooling costs, reduces TCO of running a data center of computers, allows deployment of computers in “environmentally challenged areas,” and reduces pollution with its low-energy-impact solutions.
