What is the Company’s Stock symbol?PNS Where is the Company’s stock traded?The American Stock Exchange When and how was PDSi founded?PDSi was founded in 1989 to provide reliable depot repair service for UNIX workstations. Engineers managing a network of UNIX workstations for The Ohio State University searched for dependable UNIX workstation repair facilities, but were unable to find this service. The engineers decided to fill this void by creating Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc., a company dedicated to providing this service and support for UNIX workstations and peripherals.
