RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Server Technology Inc. (STI), the industry leader for Data Center Power Distribution and Power Management Solutions, announced today that it was the winner of the NCET "Nevada's Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology" Award for The Technology Company of the Year.
The NCET award for The Technology Company of the Year was based on specific company criteria that includes:

area in operation for more than 5 years
-- Significant sales/revenue and employee growth

The NCET Awards is an annual event celebrating individuals and companies who have greatly enhanced the growth and prestige of Greater Reno-Tahoe's technology community. Dave Archer, CEO of NCET, remarks, "Server Technology has clearly made a sizable investment into the Reno-Tahoe community and that investment is paying off with its ongoing success and continued growth." Brandon Ewing, President, STI, notes that "STI relocated to Reno from the Silicon Valley in 2000 and built our factory in the South Meadows. Nevada's business friendly environment and our ability to staff our company with skilled employees from the Reno community have been a major factor in the company's success."
Key criteria for this award focused on Intellectual Property and an organization's Research and Development efforts. Server Technology has the largest single group of Software and Hardware Engineers focused solely on Power Distribution and Power Management product solutions development for data center equipment cabinets. Also, Server Technology's large patent portfolio protects our proprietary designs within the PDU marketplace and reflects on the unique products that Server Technology's customers have come to expect from us.

Recently STI also signed a distribution agreement with a major European Union data center equipment manufacturer who will distribute STI's products throughout the EU and Asia markets. Also, STI continues its investment in Reno-Tahoe area by acquiring an additional 3.5 acres in South Meadows and plans to construct a second new building in 2009 expanding our Reno facilities to 100,000 square feet.
