365 MAIN NAMED
AS FINALIST IN
2004 AMERICAN BUSINESS AWARDSSM
Prestigious Business Award Gains
Momentum in Bay Area With 365 Main
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.”
