RICHMOND, VA--(Marketwire - Jul 20, 2011) - Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI), providers of mission-critical power distribution equipment for data centers, alternative energy, industrial and commercial power markets, today announced that the Golden Bridge Awards has named PDI's i-CON Modular Data Center™ a finalist for the 3rd Annual 2011 Golden Bridge Awards in the category of Product Innovations in Information Technology - Data Centers.

PDI's i-CON Modular Data Center is an easy-to-service solution built from a standard ISO shipping container, customized with the key attributes of a standard brick and mortar data center. The i-CON helps customers dramatically increase their IT capacity, power, efficiency, and return-on-investment -- while reducing capital expenditures and time typically associated with the deployment of traditional, green field data centers. Traditional data centers typically take 12-24 months on average to deploy versus 10-12 weeks for an i-CON deployment. To take an interactive, virtual tour of an i-CON container, click here.
