Angstrom Microsystems (AGMS.OB) provides Linux based products to customers demanding high computational power. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures the high performance solutions needed by computation intensive industries such as computer rendering, health and science, high tech, Wall Street, oil/gas, biotechnology and many others. Its customers include Pixar, Conoco Phillips, and Akami. To differentiate itself from competitors, Angstrom has positioned itself as an environmentally friendly solution provider.

To generate the high levels of computational power needed, Angstrom’s customers typically purchase multiple servers employing multiple parallel microprocessors. The multiple server/processor design causes a problem- it generates large amounts of heat. The servers must be cooled to keep them within tight temperature limits so that they operate properly. An insufficiently cooled server system can cause computational and reliability problems for users.

Traditionally, users have placed servers in air-conditioned rooms to keep them cool. As computing power requirements have increased, so has the need for additional levels of A/C to cool the servers. The increasing A/C requirement is becoming more burdensome to the environment.

Air conditioning has two main environmental drawbacks. First, A/C systems (fans, compressors, etc) require a great deal of electricity. Generating the additional electricity requires the increased use of coal-fired or natural gas fired power plants, which in turn increases carbon dioxide emissions. Second, some experts believe that when A/C refrigerant escapes into the atmosphere, as can happen during maintenance, it harms the ozone layer.

Angstrom’s solution to these concerns is to use a water-based system to cool the servers. In addition to being a more efficient cooling solution, water-cooling reduces the need for additional air conditioning, thus lowering carbon dioxide production and reducing other potential atmospheric damage. Angstrom now positions itself as the environmentally friendly alternative in server design. It encourages potential customers to be good global citizens and use Angstrom Green computing solutions to save energy resources, and reduce pollution and global warming.

Angstrom Microsystems, Inc. provides cooling technology to reduce energy consumption and wasted energy in large data centers. The company designed three types of SuperBlades, which are ultra-dense servers designed for super-computing and clustering deployments. There’s the Classic SuperBlade server, HPC SuperBlade Server, and the Creator SuperBlade workstation.

The servers have greater density and quality, and are more easily maintained and managed than traditional servers. The SuperBlades provide power through an internal power connector and is mounted vertically in a row into a “SuperNest,” which is the case or enclosure to mount and cable the SuperBlades.

Thirty one hot-swappable SuperBlades, fans, cables and a PDU comprise the SuperBlade nest. The cooling rack is rack-based, rather than blade-based, which results in the need for fewer fans to cool each server. The nest can hold either SuperBlades or standard servers – offering a flexibility that lets customers switch between networks, consoler servers or other related gear.

SuperNests are like Lego blocks, with the ability to be stacked 5.5 nests high to create the standard seven-inch rack. The nest can accommodate up to 130 servers when stacked back-to-back. The SuperBlades and SuperNests offer cooling with fewer points of failure; are cost effective, using 4 Athlon MP 2400+ processors; are easy to maintain; and are flexible, as the blades and rackmount gear can be placed in several configurations.

Each day more and more technically advanced, special-effects enhanced movies are released. In the beginning of the special effects wave, all of the effects were done via miniature modeling and clay shooting. The monsters were made in clay approximately the size of a GI Joe, and its movements were filmed a few frames at a time. Finally, the film editors would splice the scenes to run in sequence, and we’d get our scary movie, complete with monster. Unfortunately, this monster often seemed a bit unrefined and its movements “herky jerky”.

When digital special effects came on the scene, two things became stunningly clear. First, the improvement over the original film recording was incredible, and second, it was abundantly clear that the industry was not equipped to deal with the storage and “rendering” problem that creating all that digital content required. So, what’s rendering? Better yet, what gets rendered?

Computer-generated imagery (also known as CGI) is the application of computer graphics, or more specifically, 3D computer graphics, to special effects in films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation. In a simple production, this computer generated imagery can be stored and shared on a small hard drive-type disc. But, what happens when you have dozens of computer artists working on a feature length film such as Star wars, or one of the follow up episodes? Then you need a “render farm”.

A render farm is a cluster of servers on which these animation artists can store and retrieve their work. This render farm is far beyond the simple computer hard drive, as animators often “overlay” an image a hundred times, each enhancement (like “skinning”) adding another layer of pixelation, or detail. This takes an enormous amount of computer processor power, and requires a way to keep those power-hungry processors running cool and efficiently. This is where Angstrom Microsystems shines. They have years of experience with the leading special effects companies, including Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary of LucasFilm. In fact, Angstrom supplied their Titan64 SuperBlade™ rendering servers at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to render the special effects for Star Wars Episode III. In a visual effects-laden film such as Star Wars, nearly every minute of the 140-minute film included work by ILM.

How much work? To produce the final shots, compositors combine several layers of rendered elements for each frame. A 100-layer shot is not unusual; most shots include at least 20 layers. It took 6,598,928 hours of aggregate render time to produce the shots in Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith.

All the while the “render farm” has to offer up these snippets as fast as possible, requiring incredibly efficient servers to battle the energy demands and the heat that’s produced. Angstrom Microsystems came through in that type of heavy industrial use like a champ. In fact one could argue that a more intense application of render technology had never been seen before.

Angstrom Microsystems is an engineering and computing firm that can meet and exceed the needs of a LucasFilm and ILM production. It is no wonder that, in the “less intense” commercial applications, Angstrom has proven to be a leader. The wide range of problems in distributed computing requires innovative solutions to computing requirements. At Angstrom, they take an application-oriented approach to developing server technology for their customers. They analyze the computing and storage needs of an application and combine this information with the customer’s price/performance criteria to build a total solution that provides a highly-reliable system that performs well at a competitive price.

As the incidence of special effects and high technology, high definition film evolves, rendering will take more and more high-level computing, and Angstrom is the optimum choice to solve these computing problems. Investors would be wise to consider this company as the digital revolution advances.

If you were to go to the car dealers and shop for a new vehicle, somewhere along in the negotiations the question of fuel efficiency would arise. “What kind of mileage can I expect” sounds like a question that would surely be asked. Why? Because energy, especially as we have seen lately, is very expensive “stuff.” We need to conserve it as much as possible, both for the good of our planet and the good of our pocketbook. But sometimes energy is wasted through no fault of our own. Sometimes inefficiencies are built into the infrastructures that we rely on every day, although no one really notices it. Until they do the math.

Angstrom Microsystems Inc. (which trades under the symbol AGMS) knows where some of these inefficiencies lay when it comes to the electrical power infrastructure that enters into most computer data centers. Having built their business upon the engineering of high efficiency computing solutions, they have looked into the areas of energy loss that most people overlook. In fact, when presented with the facts, the average data center manager/owner is astounded by the energy drain of the typical power setup. For instance, the street power – power entering the datacenter from “the street” – is typically 3-phase 480V in the United States. Each stage that it passes through, including the very copper wire transmitting it, reduces its efficiency. Okay, we all expect a small drop in energy efficiency as the electricity passes along its route, but how bad can it be?

Very bad. When the power first enters the data center from the street, it typically heads into a “UPS,” or more commonly known as the “battery backup” area, which provides the power to the center in the event of a power failure. Even in the most modern UPS technology, there can be a loss of 2-10 percent on the energy supplied. From the 3 phase 480 volts, most data centers run the power through a PDU rectifier, taking the voltage down to 208V, which will eat anywhere from 7 to a whopping 25 percent of the input power in the transformation. Then the newly minted 208 volts of AC power goes into the individual server power supplies, and once again loses anywhere from 20 to 35 percent. Finally, just in the act of moving along the wiring, A/C current will often drop by another 2-5 percent.

Add it all together and the typical data center is paying for power that is seeing 35-50 percent wasted before it actually gets to the motherboards of its computers. This is a horrible waste of energy and money, and Angstrom has developed a unique way of putting an end to that waste, Angstrom’s solution is a high efficiency 480VAC 3-phase rectifier that converts those 480 volts of Alternating current, to 30 volts of DC current. That is then fed into a high efficiency DC distribution center that feeds the motherboards the required Direct current they require.

The savings are nothing shy of stunning. The company’s 3-phase rectifier and DC power supply combination average in at 84 percent efficiency, compared to the 50-percent the typical infrastructure is currently yielding. That’s a savings of 34 percent of the power invested, which at today’s prices can be tens of thousands of dollars to a standard data center.

With savings that large, it’s no wonder that Angstrom’s “MaxPowerSmart” solutions are in strong demand at data centers around the world. It’s just another reason that Angstrom is leading the way in progressive high efficiency computing solutions. Investors with an eye for “green” companies should keep an eye on this one.

Here’s an ironic twist of physics to ponder. There are virtually tens of millions of applications that require enormous amounts of energy to produce heat, while at the very same time other applications require enormous amounts of energy but produce unwanted heat as an industrial byproduct. As a simple example, let’s consider a car engine. We are told that the reason we put oil in the engine is to reduce friction. To “lubricate” the moving parts. Yet in reality, what we are trying to do is reduce the “effects” of friction, which in every instance is heat energy. Allow the moving parts to become too hot and they will expand, grind against each other, and ultimately fail. Consequently the car engine has to spend a portion of its very expensive fuel energy for running a radiator fan and a water pump to keep the temperatures down.

If you are trying to produce heat, you have to use up some form of energy, whether chemical or mechanical. But even if your goal is to eliminate heat, you have to use up energy, and this is where Angstrom Microsystems comes in. Angstrom has developed cooling systems for computer servers, server racks, data nodes, and server farms that far surpass the standard air cooling architecture generally seen. By lowering the working temperature of the computer servers, they can cluster more of them together, reduce the “footprint” of the server farm, and most importantly, cut the amount of energy used by the center, by a factor of 30 percent.

Angstrom, which trades under the symbol ANGS, is an engineering company, a computing company and an environmental company all in one. Their LiquiCool architecture for effective cooling of high power servers is flexible and fits the requirements of most data centers. While that’s great news, the real story is in the energy savings. Via provable data, Angstrom can demonstrate a 30-percent savings in electrical use by utilizing their power modules and their “liquicool” heat reducing architecture.

Where does the energy savings come from? The biggest expense a server cluster farm generally has is “air conditioning” costs as they try and keep their cluster room cool. Computers that get hot will indeed fail, and air conditioning is the standard way of addressing the problem. Unfortunately it’s not terribly efficient, and – just as bad – it creates noise, limits the areas you can place your servers, and costs a lot. Angstrom’s approach virtually eliminates the need for an air conditioned cluster room.

Angtrom’s approach works like this:

Heat exchangers convert gas that is created by the computer cooling process back into a liquid form. The liquid absorbs heat from the exchangers placed around the servers, and turns into a gas. Gas rises through pipes to a location above the computers, usually on the roof, where it is cooled by:

• Air blowing across the pipes
• Water flowing across the pipes
• Water evaporating on the pipes

The gas condenses back into a liquid and falls back down the tubing into the heat exchangers again, only to have the process repeat over and over. Unlike any other liquid cooling product, Angstrom LiquiCool provides a variety of heat exchanger technologies that fit virtually any specific data center requirements.

The installation of an Angstrom Liquicool system can pay for itself in less than two years via the reduction of energy use and its ability to allow a denser cluster of servers under one roof. For the data center, this is something that simply cannot be ignored, and it’s the reason Angstrom has seen strong demand for its systems.

If this technology was all Angstrom provided, it would make for an interesting investment vehicle to consider. But this is just one of the several services ANGS provides, and is one of the reasons that Angstrom should be on your investing radar screen.

While computers have put a considerable dent in the amount of paper used for personal and business communication, there are still steps that can be taken to improve environmentally friendly standards. Angstrom Technologies (OTCBB: ANGS) has developed a way to decrease the amount of energy large computer data centers use each day. The company has launched its Green Computing Initiative to increase energy efficiency to data centers.

According to the company, only 42 cents of every dollar spent by data centers for cooling systems are not wasted. Thirty cents of every dollar spent on electricity in the data centers is used on air conditioning; however, up to 40 percent of the power is lost during power transmission.

Angstrom’s LiquiCool solution is applicable to existing infrastructure and can double the number of machines cooled without the need to build new facilities. California energy costs run at 12 cents per kW/hour; using Angstrom’s technologies, a 500kW facility could save more than $200,000 each year in electricity.

The company’s solutions include the analysis of computing and storage needs for each data center. It then combines this with information regarding the customer’s price and performance needs to create a reliable, cost efficient alternative to current cooling methods.
