AGMS.OB - Think only Cars and Factories cause Pollution? Think Again
When you think of greenhouse gas pollution, you may picture a car billowing black smoke on the freeway, industrial areas of large cities coughing and sputtering pollutants into a hazy sky, or any number of air pollution culprits. But according to a recent study by McKinsey & Co., the world’s data centers are expected to surpass the airline industry in air pollution.
Humming quietly in the back of nearly every building in America is a bundle of servers, providing the energy for the very things that run our society. Angstrom Microsystems (OTCBB: AGMS) has developed a green alternative to air conditioning for the cooling of servers.
The company’s LiquiCool solution eliminates the need for air conditioning and reduces the amount of wasted energy from 30 percent to 8 percent. The technology is not only environmentally friendly, but also saves companies money, improving efficacy without the need for additional infrastructure.
The Angstrom LiquiCool system spares more than 80 cents out of every dollar cooling data centers; with a non-angstrom cooling system, more than 60 cents of every dollar goes to waste. The company’s various cooling systems improve a data center’s efficiency and functionality.
According to recent studies, computer servers are used at only 6 percent of capacity, while data centers are used at 56 percent of peak performance. As the world looks to the streets for green alternatives, Angstrom Technologies focuses on the quiet culprits.
