Zen provides vital connectivity at the V Festival
14 August 2006: Zen Internet, an award-winning Internet Service Provider (ISP), is once again working with ZenPartner Introspect IT Solutions Ltd to provide highly reliable and high speed Internet connectivity for the V festival this weekend.
The festival organisers, Roseclaim Ltd, will have an efficient remote onsite office using Zen broadband, providing them with access to e-mails and files from the head office network. Introspect IT will implement a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for this, and will oversee the whole project.
Other broadband lines will be used for the bands and road crew to access their e-mail with Introspect IT Solutions setting up the wireless networks to enable this access. In addition to this, Zen broadband will also be used for demonstrations of music downloads by the sponsors this year.
Even higher speeds are available at the 2006 event through the Office 8000 Max service that Zen has introduced this year which offers download speeds of up to 8Mbps* and potential upload levels of 832Kbps.* Introspect has ordered more lines this year bringing the total to ten Zen ADSL connections, all benefiting from this new high speed service.
Another bonus since last year is the introduction of the dedicated Zen Events Team. Zen has provided broadband for a wide range of events through this team over the past year including The Senior British Open Championship 2006, The World Snooker Championships and The 2006 Download Festival. Zen is now the first choice for many companies who need to maintain a high standard of Internet connectivity while working at remote locations. The Events Team have become experts in the field of temporary broadband which needs to be activated fast, and the monthly contract at Zen is a key selling point for many event organisers.
Mike Dixon, Technical Director at Gold ZenPartner Introspect IT Solutions, explained:
"Once again we turned to Zen to connect this festival due to their proven record as a reliable and high quality provider. This year the added bonuses of higher speed broadband availability and the dedicated Zen Events Team led to even more reasons for our customer to trust Zen to deliver effective connections for this high profile event."
Iain Johnstone, Sales and Partner Programme Manager, Zen Internet, commented:
"We have a great relationship with Introspect and have worked with them previously on the V festival as well as other big events. Our customers and partners choose to work with us on a range of events as we are a reliable provider and through our specialist Events Team have gained a large amount of experience and expertise."
* Customers' ability to receive the maximum upload and download speeds will be dependant on line quality and distance from the exchange.

About Introspect IT Solutions Ltd:
In 2001 Steve Holland and Mike Dixon created Introspect I.T. Solutions Ltd. They decided to implement their intensive experience (over 16 years) in the fields of CAD 3D Visualisation and Information Technology, working for the UK’s largest AutoDesk reseller, by combining their knowledge and expertise and offering it to a select group of growing businesses. Dealing mainly with blue-chip clients they saw that the small business was being left behind in the quality of I.T. service provision as most of the real expertise was being focused on the larger organisations. Introspect are now one of those small businesses and understands how information systems can be utilised best within this market.
