SAN FRANCISCO, CA., April 14, 2004 –– 365 Main, the Bay Area’s safest, most secure and reliable data center, today announced it was named a finalist in the “Best New Company” category in the second annual American Business Awards.
Hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post (September 22, 2002), The American Business Awards are the first national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace.
“Nicknamed the Stevies™ for the Greek word "crowned," winners will be announced during presentations on Monday, May 10 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City. The ceremonies will be videocast live on the Internet and will be broadcast nationwide on radio by the Business TalkRadio Network.
“More than 800 nominations from virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best New Product or Service and Best Support Staff. 365 Main will be competing in the Best New Company category in the technology industry.
365 Main’s nomination for Architecture for a New Economy in Technology has gained nationwide exposure for their submission to the 2004 American Business Awards. 365 Main is one of the leading state-of-the-art facilities in the United States due to its astounding architecture and structure that now stands as the only critical facility designed to sustain a once-in-a 1,000 year earthquake in California. Building a critical facility of such magnitude has proven 365 Main’s architecture as the foundation of safety and reliability for companies doing business in the Bay Area. Equipped with ten 2.1 Megawatt continuous power systems, an N+2 facility-wide redundancy, an award-winning base isolation system, and 60,000 gallons of fuel on-site, 365 Main’s structural resiliency is rapidly becoming recognized as the leading data center in the industry.
"In an economy where technology companies come and go, making the 2004 American Business Awards is a testament to our company's vision and strength of which we are very proud,” says Chris Dolan, President & CEO of 365 Main. “We are honored to be recognized with such an elite group of companies that have made it as finalists for this award.”
Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie winners from among the Finalists. The Board includes business luminaries such as Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes, Bruce Nelson, Chairman & CEO of Office Depot, marketing gurus Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, Anthony Robbins, Chairman & CEO of The Anthony Robbins Companies, Drew Schutte, publisher of Wired Magazine, Jeffrey Tarr, Chairman & CEO of Hoover’s Inc., and Donald Trump, Chairman, President and CEO of The Trump Organization.
The Stevie trophy was designed by R. S. Owens, the same company that makes the Oscar and the Emmy.
“The Stevie Award has quickly become the most coveted business honor in America,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. “We began the Stevies in 2002 with the mission to generate recognition of deserving companies and individuals among the business community, the press, and the general public. Being selected as a Finalist is an important achievement, because it means that independent judges have agreed that the Finalist is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition.”
