ANGS.OB Continues Its Massive Deployments at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Angstrom Microsystems, a green computing solutions company, announced that the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and one of the world’s foremost medical research centers, has continued to deploy Angstrom’s Titan64 SuperBlade ™ system to further its basic biology research.
The SuperBlade™ is Angstrom’s high-performance computing blade solution delivering optimum energy efficiency. This system is powered by AMD’s Opteron ™ processors, which deliver maximum performance to large data centers. Angstrom has deployed over 1,000 of these servers in the main NIH facility in Bethesda, MD, assisting NIH researchers in discovering cures and solutions to some of today’s most troubling ailments in demographics ranging from teenage drinking to elder care.
NIH chose the Angstrom SuperBlade™ systems not only for their high performance and reliability, but because Angstrom has a demonstrated history of providing quality installation and equally high standards in the maintenance of their systems.
Angstrom, under its flagship SuperBlade™ solution, provides blade servers and workstations for a variety of industries, with each installation modified to best serve the industry in question. Working with the special effects industry, Angstrom provides both hardware and software solutions which address the need for intense, high-energy computing while still addressing power usage concerns. By employing accelerations software, Angstrom installations reduce the number of machines needed to complete a task, thereby saving companies significant costs both for the additional machines that would have been necessary with another company’s installation, and the energy costs to run these additional machines.
Referring to the NIH installation, Lalit Jain, the CEO of Angstrom Microsystems, said, “The NIH sets the table for the American drug discovery and bio-informatics industries, and Angstrom is proud to be selected annually to deliver high performance cluster solutions for NIH.”
Angstrom, as one of the top green computing solutions companies, includes among its customers such companies as Rhythm & Hues, Fox Films, Tippett Studios, and the above-mentioned NIH, and has earned a reputation as a service-oriented computing solutions company whose engineering innovations, like the quad-capable GPU blades running Nvidia™ cards, lead the way to clean, lean, green computing.
