BOSTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 7, 2008 -- Angstrom Microsystems Corp. (OTC BB:AGMS.OB - News), a market leader in "green computing" solutions, announced today the launch of its CoolAir™ product line, a 21st-Century family of solutions that has raised the bar for an industry notorious for its massive power consumption. Angstrom CoolAir computers have the same or greater performance, but use significantly less power than competing products from IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems.

With up to 20% more energy efficiency than its competitors, Angstrom's CoolAir servers provide much needed energy and air-conditioning relief for facilities that house large amounts of computers, called "data centers." Like the name suggests, data centers hold the enormous amount of information needed by many of today's companies to conduct normal business activities. And while these businesses grow, the need for more power grows as well, since the machines need to be cooled to function properly. Of course, while technology has greatly enhanced business efficiency around the globe, there is rapidly growing concern that the power needed to generate this new paradigm is one of the major contributors to global warming, which is generated by greenhouse gases.

The U.S., unfortunately, is one of the worst offenders. As the only developed country not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, a global treaty to reduce greenhouse gases, the U.S. has a worldwide reputation as a mass consumer of electricity that is not doing enough to reduce global warming. Many believe the next president will begin to change that because things are only getting worse. Data centers have grown in size, power and cooling needs as the demand for computing has increased. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that data centers have become a major user of power, soon generating 3% of all power consumed in the United States.

Targeting a specific niche, Angstrom markets to data centers that are severely limited in their growth due to power limitations. Often, over 50% of the power used is wasted on air-conditioning and transforming power coming from the street into something that a computer can use. This inefficiency is costing millions of dollars, contributing to global warming, and from a business perspective, slowing the necessary growth of these facilities.

Angstrom solves this problem. Through over eight years of research and development, Angstrom's energy efficient, high-end blade servers, workstations and software solutions have been designed to provide maximum performance and power efficiency, thereby reducing costs for clients and helping the environment as a whole.

"Many people don't realize that with respect to the automotive industry, there have been alternative power sources for vehicles since the time cars were invented," said Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom Microsystems. "But the sources were not efficient enough and demand from consumers was not strong enough to warrant the auto makers to mass produce cars that do not run solely on gasoline. Today is completely different. Just as the Toyota Prius™ and other hybrid vehicles have provided breakthrough gasoline savings, our CoolAir™ computers offer the next generation of energy efficient solutions that sip electricity -- not guzzle it down.

"Our customers have independently verified our CoolAir performance-per-watt superiority while seamlessly integrating it into our existing racks (a collection of Angstrom servers) without any modifications, thereby solving the dilemma of growth. The reduced consumption of energy by CoolAir extends the use of most existing data centers that have an air-conditioning and electricity ceiling, thus saving millions of dollars in build-out costs. We are very pleased to provide such a ground-breaking solution to a global problem."

About Angstrom Technologies Corp. (www.angstrom.com)

Angstrom Microsystems Corporation is a Boston-based company that has developed "green computing" solutions for the $15 billion server industry and more importantly for all major data centers. The Company provides technology solutions ranging from liquid-cooled blades to acceleration software in order to help significantly reduce power requirements. As its flagship product, Angstrom has developed a patent-pending server that self cools via a non-conductive, non-toxic liquid (AMS Treon™) and therefore reduces the amount of air conditioning and electricity used to cool down servers, providing the ability to save 75% on cooling costs. Its customers include Pixar, Rhythm & Hues, Fox Films, Tippett Studios, the National Institutes of Health and Credit Suisse. Angstrom has earned a reputation for superior quality, service and engineering innovation in the AMD Opteron processor-based system market.
