Those website hits just keep on coming with DediPower, as our hosting expertise drives the technology behind the BRIT Awards website. 

As Ged Doherty, Chairman of The BRITs committee explains “For the 30th BRIT’s show we’re planning a landmark event; that truly celebrates the occasion and marks it as Europe’s premier music show, and one of the biggest media events of the year.  As the official home of everything you ever need to know, see or hear about the BRITs, we wanted the site, in its anniversary year, to reflect the same digital excellence that prevails within music industry today.  Thanks to DediPower’s hosting platform, we now have the bandwidth and capacity to use the site as a 24/7 voting and viewing channel for our international audience; while also unlocking our media vaults and making 30 years of outstanding content available online.”

A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to prepare for such a major event, happening months before we see it in the headlines. To deliver a dynamic and exciting site the The BRITs chose Deeson eMedia - http://www.deeson.co.uk/emedia. They designed and built the site using Drupal, the popular open source content management system.  

Tim Deeson, Director at Deeson eMedia, understands it is all about the user experience and performance. And having the right technology to underpin and enhance the sites performance. Tim explains, “Building a great site is one thing, it can only be delivered properly with the right hosting expertise - this is particularly true for high-profile sites such as The BRIT Awards.  As our own preferred hosting partner, we knew that DediPower offered proven expertise backed by the highest levels of support available. DediPower's involvement ensures that the site will run 24/7; with the capacity to support high volumes without any reduction in performance or speed.” 

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, The BRIT Awards 2010 with MasterCard is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic shows yet.
