Angstrom is an AMD Opteron Specalist

Angstrom Microsystems engineers and manufactures high performance computers. Our clients include, among others, Pixar, Conoco, Philips and Akamai. Angstrom specializes in the Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) Opteron processor platform. Angstrom provides unique Opteron expertise in software, BIOS, operating systems and hardware platforms necessary for understanding and implementing Opteron datacenters.

The Opteron is a recently announced next-generation AMD microprocessor for computers, workstations and high performance servers. Unlike Intel's solutions, the Opteron is completely compatible with all existing 32-bit software while simultaneously running faster 64-bit software. Unlike Intel, the Opteron is being supported by Microsoft's full line of products. Angstrom is working closely with AMD, the world's second largest CPU maker next to Intel, to pioneer the marketing and sales of its new AMD Opteron based server technology.

Angstrom is an engineering company

	Blade servers - Angstrom is introducing the world's densest computing rack of servers; 130 dual processors blades
	Blade motherboards - developing 2P and 4P motherboards for the Opteron market
	Management software - based around open standards and open source software, Angstrom is integrating proprietary tools and applications to provide a massively scalable remote management facility.

Angstrom has been assisting early adopter ISV's in porting their software to the AMD Opteron 64-bit environment to take advantage of the full capability of the Opteron processors. A partnership between Angstrom and 'mental images', an Academy Award winning rendering software company resulted in a 50X speed up of their software compared to versions running on 32-bit processors like Intel Xeon and AMD Athlon.
