Industry Taps Power Distribution, Inc. for Energy Management Insights

RICHMOND, VA--(Marketwire - Jun 9, 2011) - Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI), providers of mission-critical power distribution equipment for data centers, alternative energy, industrial, and commercial power markets, today underscores the value of its data center power consumption insights. Experts from PDI are the "go to" speakers that leading industry events rely on to share practical experience on intelligent facility management and best practices for power monitoring and energy cost reduction.

A recent study by Advanced Micro Devices revealed that data center power usage in the U.S. doubled each year between 2007 and 2010. Yet, in a survey conducted by InformationWeek Analytics in March 2010, facilities managers and data center operators overwhelmingly stated that they do not expect to see any budget increases in 2011 to help them offset these power cost increases.

"To help offset these power cost increases, facilities managers must embrace intelligent energy management tools and equipment," said Dave Mulholland, Vice President, Marketing, Service, at PDI. "These new, intelligent/integrated tools are specifically designed to help monitor, manage and reduce power requirements across the entire data center. PDI is leading the way for power reduction with customizable power distribution solutions that optimize facility and data center power distribution while lowering operational expenses."

PDI's speaking topics include:

• Energy Utilization and Cost Trends
• Power Monitoring Techniques and Technology
• The Modular Distribution Market and Solutions
• Capital Efficiency
