Angstrom Unveils Its Green Computing Initiative(TM), Featuring the World's First Liquid Cooled Ultra-Dense X86-64 Rack Blades.AMS AMS - Andrew Message System LiquiCool Uses Non-Conductive Fluid to Build a Revolutionary Cooling System That Eliminates the Need for Additional Data Center Air-Conditioning BOSTON -- Angstrom angstrom (ăng`strəm), abbr. Å, unit of length equal to 10−10 meter (0.0000000001 meter); it is used to measure the wavelengths of visible light and of other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet Microsystems, a leader in high performance computing, today announced its Green Computing Initiative[TM], designed to make main stream data centers more efficient through next generation cooling and power efficiency technologies. Angstrom is introducing AMS LiquiCool[TM], a liquid cooling technology that reduces air-conditioning needs by over 75%. 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 main stream 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 be·hold·en adj. Owing something, such as gratitude, to another; indebted. [Middle English biholden, past participle of biholden, to observe; see behold. to restrictions within the data center due to air conditioning, thus can provide the densest solutions in the market today. In fact, because Angstrom LiquiCool blades do not require additional air-conditioning, they may be placed external to the data center, running silently without large fans. "Angstrom is providing exciting, disruptive technology that strikes at the heart of our customers' air-conditioning and power concerns," said Lalit Jain, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Angstrom Microsystems. "With our patent-pending cooling solutions, Angstrom enables scaling of high volume deployments with the most current processors the market has to offer." As part of its Green Computing Initiative, Angstrom is also introducing efficient DC and 3-phase A/C power technology that reduces power utilization within the data center by over 25%. Utilizing both the air conditioning and power technologies, Angstrom can save data centers 40-60% of electricity costs.
