/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. today
announced that a leading equipment supplier to the media/data
storage industry has selected AE's Pinnacle(R) dual-output DC power
supply as the default standard for its new, magnetic disk
sputtering system. This well-established customer chose to

capabilities and low operating cost. These capabilities were judged
essential to keeping ahead of the demands associated with
consumer-driven disk drive markets. (Logo:

magnetic disks -- employed in products ranging from computers,
digital cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) to gaming
systems -- require a degree of data density that many existing
types of manufacturing equipment cannot accommodate. Accordingly,
manufacturers are introducing new platforms designed to address the
current needs of these growing markets, as well as for the future.
These companies need to partner with suppliers possessing the same
level of expertise. With its proven family of Pinnacle products, AE
delivers unmatched operational power, as well as the critical
parameter of minimal arc energy to its customers in the disk drive
market. Advanced Energy CEO Doug Schatz stated, "We are extremely
pleased that this valued customer has named AE supplier of choice
for its new disk sputtering system, and are confident that our
product will prove invaluable as this customer moves to a new level
of manufacturing process capability. By working closely with
equipment suppliers and end users, and listening to their unique
needs, AE is able to develop the innovative and cost-efficient
technology solutions that help them meet not only their current
requirements, but their future roadmap goals as well." Senior Vice
President and General Manager of AE's product groups, Steve
Rhoades, noted, "We put significant importance on continuing the
valuable relationship with this long-standing customer. In addition
to the Pinnacle unit's low energy storage during arcing, wide
operational power range and proven reliability, some other key
factors contributed to this customer's purchasing decision over
other power supplies. Specifically, our dual-output design provides
unprecedented flexibility and enables equipment manufacturers to
save on equipment cost and footprint. We look forward to expanding
our reach within the important data storage market through our
continued relationship with this equipment manufacturer, a fellow
technology leader and innovator." AE Pinnacle DC Power Supply AE's
