 ramsac, a leading IT solutions consultancy, today announced that it has been appointed to provide network support at V Festival 2007 at Hylands Park. For the fourth year in succession, ramsac has been chosen by event promoters Metropolis Music to support the backstage network that provides Internet and email access to temporary on-site offices for the production teams and performers. 

The V Festival (www.vfestival.com) takes place on the 18th and 19th August 2007 at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park in Staffordshire and is expected to attract over 160,000 people each day. Each of the 102 acts billed to appear over the weekend have individual production teams that require backstage access to Internet and email and Bob Angus, Director of the V Festival explains, “It is very important that the production teams of the headline and supporting acts have Internet access and as the festival promoters, we must have access to our company network to co-ordinate all event logistics.”

Throughout the two day Hylands Park event ramsac will provide backstage network support and will be available for consultancy, advice and on-site support, ensuring that any technical problems are dealt with immediately.

Technical Consultant at ramsac, Paul Mew, comments, “We have a dedicated support team on hand throughout the weekend to ensure that all technical problems are rectified as soon as possible. Some of the supporting acts only have limited time in their dressing rooms, so it is essential that they are able to access the Internet and their emails instantly.” 

Bob Angus from the V Festival adds, “ramsac has provided excellent backstage IT support for the past three years and we are very happy that they have decided to accept the challenge for the fourth year running.”
