August 27 - Gartner
Research Says Global Server Shipments Grew 12% in Q2, 2008
Angstrom is Aggressively Pursuing Server Market
Share
BOSTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE) – Aug.
27, 2008 -- Angstrom Microsystems Corp. (OTCBB: AGMS.OB) is leading
the market in “Green Computing” solutions. Angstrom is focused on providing
“Green Computing” solutions to help clients reduce their carbon footprint
while saving energy and saving them money over traditional computing solutions.
According to Gartner, Inc., “Worldwide
server shipments for the second quarter of 2008 increased 12.2 percent
over the same quarter last year, while worldwide server revenue for the
same period climbed 5.7 percent. Worldwide server revenue totaled $13.8
billion for the second quarter, as worldwide servers shipments reached
2.3 million units.
"In spite of economic constraints
in some markets like the United States, on a worldwide basis, servers continued
to grow in the second quarter of the year,” said Jeffrey Hewitt, research
vice president at Gartner. “The most significant driver in the quarter
continued to be an upswing in x86 server replacements that started in the
first quarter. This, coupled with Web data center build outs and growth
in emerging markets, produced solid Q2 results.”
Says Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom
Microsystems, "We have some solid company in the blade server market competing
against the likes of HP, Dell and IBM. We are, however, differentiating
ourselves from our competition through our use of energy saving technologies,
energy efficient Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based blade servers, and
our unique software acceleration libraries.” Mr. Jain adds, “At the end
of the day Angstrom can do it better, faster and cheaper than our large
competitors in the market. Just 1% of the global market would represent
23,000 units per quarter. I think we are competitively positioned with
our software and hardware technologies to go after a decent sized piece
of the blade server market. While the overall economy is struggling, the
server market is growing and we like our chances in gaining market share
against our major market competitors.”

Company Overview |
 |
| Angstrom Microsystems Corp. (AGMS) designs
and manufactures ultra-dense, high performance rack-mount servers through
its wholly owned subsidiary, Angstrom Microsystems, Inc.(TM), which the
company acquired in April 2008. AGMS was in the development stage as of
Dec. 31, 2007.
Angstrom Microsystems(TM) specializes in Green
computing solutions, providing blade servers, workstations and software
uniquely designed for the energy-hungry datacenter sector. Angstrom Microsystems
provides software-based acceleration to significantly reduce the number
of machines required to perform a given task. It combines this technology
with cooling techniques to further reduce energy consumption in the datacenter.
Fewer machines for the same performance coupled with less cooling power
required per machine results in a more energy-efficient datacenter. |
 |
The company's technology solutions include
non-conductive environmentally friendly liquid cool blades, ultra-efficient
rack-based power solutions and 10-50x FFT and other application acceleration
software, and are designed to help reduce the power requirements of datacenters.
Customers include Rhythm & Hues, Fox Films, Tippett Studios and the
National Institutes of Health. Angstrom Microsystems provides blades and
other products for the AMD Opteron(TM) processor market.
The Angstrom LiquiBlades (TM) extend the use of
existing datacenters as computing needs grow.
Angstrom LiquiBlades (TM) bypass the traditional
method of air cooling servers by using a non-conductive liquid that absorbs
computer heat and pipes it as a non-conductive gas to a heat exchanger
outside of the datacenter.
Angstrom MaxPowerSmart (TM) is an ultra-high efficiency
480VAC 3-phase and 48VDC solution that provides power to standard motherboards
used by the Angstrom blade and rack-mount products. Angstrom racks can
accept 48VDC power and redundant A/C power from separate grids.
According to the company, its accelerated computing
software, Angstrom XFactor Plus(TM), can improve server performance by
5-200x. Through the use of Angstrom acceleration middleware libraries,
select applications such as FFTW(TM), Atlas Blas(TM), and a variety of
other math libraries and applications can be calculated using significantly
fewer servers.
As the company pursues a product strategy for
its liquid cooling hardware, it will display technology through direct
sales in order to license technology to original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). For its power efficiency hardware, Angstrom Microsystems will incorporate
off-the-shelf technology into an Angstrom solution. The company's strategy
for its software is to address vertical markets through targeted development
and marketing.
Key elements of the company's business development
strategy include sales growth, licensing to OEMs, acquisitions, partnerships
with vertical market ASPs, and splitting off vertical market products as
separate departments.
The company believes that its Angstrom LiquiBlades
offer a number of advantages. They can reduce monthly electricity costs
by up to 25%, and they enable expansion in challenging locations such as
datacenter hot spots, high elevations or open air facilities. In addition,
Angstrom LiquiBlades reduce noise signigicantly, allowing the rack to quietly
reside alongside staff in an office space.

Angstrom Investor Highlights:
- Angstrom in business for almost 9 years
- Company started by Lalit Jain, MIT alumni
- Lalit Jain has delivered sales of $50MM in almost 9 years
- High profile client base includes Fox Films (Angstrom in the end credits
of Ice Age the Meltdown), the National Institutes of Health (see our servers
in the picture at biowulf.nih.gov),
and Industrial Light and Magic.
- Developed "Green" solutions that reduce power needs in the data center.
Green Products:
Liquid Cooling : AMS LiquiCool(TM)
- Uses non-electrically conductive fluid (AMS Treon(TM)) which, by this feature,
is data center safe unlike most other tier 1 competitors like IBM and HP
that use highly conductive water.
- Is more energy efficient than almost all solutions that compete because
our technology is "2-phase" cooling -- several orders of magnitude more
efficient than air cooling or walter cooling.
- Has no points of failure (POF) between the computer blades and the rack,
unlike any other true liquid cooled solution
- Unlike any other solution, is highly scalable and thus designed for large
scale deployments (no water usage, elimination of rack/blade POF and advanced
monitoring).
- Uses fluid that is non-toxic, non-flammable and environmentally friendly
unlike others who may use CFC solutions.
- Easy to maintain and cost effective
Cooling accounts of 30% of monthly costs in the data center. Angstrom's
technology eliminates over 75% of that 30% using its liquid cooling and
resulting in excellent ROI for AGMS clients.
As important, Angstrom LiquiCool solutions enable the continued use
of existing data centers, thus showing customers *immediate* CAPEX savings by not needed to build multi-million dollar data centers.
Power Efficiency: MaxPowerSmart(TM)
- Racks to plug directly to "street" power, by-passing costly and inherently
inefficient data center PDUs, enabling 82% power efficiency to the rack,
as compared to the 50%-70% offered in most other standard solutions.
- Racks can have redundant power grid inputs, providing enterprise class
power reliability.
- Racks offer N+M power to the blades for enterprise class power reliability.
- Rack can accept 48V DC solution for ultra-efficient and telco data centers.
Software acceleration: Xfactor Plus(TM)
- Accelerates the performance of targeted software application and libraries
by 10-100x, reducing the total # of machines needed to run in the data
center for any given calculation.
- Does not require any significant change to existing software code based,
allowing for critical plug-and-play capability. Not having this feature
is a "show-stopper" for most clients since they do not want to (a) expend
budget to develop "custom" code (b) maintain multiple code bases (c) be
beholden to one company if they do decide to convert their code.
- Uses standard Intel and AMD based hardware, while the accelerated software
is driven using GPU technology.
This technology is a quantum leap in the way computing will get done in
select high performance computing industries -- from Wall Street, to oil
and gas to broadcasting -- this technology will all but eliminate the focus
on the use of faster and faster Intel or AMD processors. Already, industries
are gearing up for his new wave of technology.
