IT Solutions

Agriculture is amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The vast Internet of Things (IoT), including smart sensors, robotics and drones, positioning and location tracking, cloud computing, AI analytics, and cellular communication systems, is modernizing the agri-food sector, resulting in precision farming, smart farming, and digital farming practices that increase efficiency, productivity, and quality. While IoT technologies enable precision agriculture to thrive, their multitude and complexity create more vulnerabilities for your agribusiness. For your smart farming applications to perform well and remain secure, you need a solid internal infrastructure. That’s where a managed service provider like NexusTek can help.

Managed IT Solutions

By 2024, the total number of IoT connections will reach 83 billion, reports Juniper Research, and the industrial sector, which includes agriculture, will account for more than 70% of its 130% growth. Connected farming depends on technology reliability and cannot afford system downtime. An MSP can provide the proactive IT support and maintenance to ensure optimal network performance for agribusinesses.

We provide unlimited upkeep maintenance to eliminate system failures and increase productivity. Our IT Help Desk addresses all your IT needs and concerns 24/7/365.

Cloud Services​

With industry-wide connectivity, the agri-food sector could increase $500 billion in additional value by 2030, according to McKinsey & Company. Information from smart sensors, mobile devices, and location detection technologies improve supply chain effectiveness and value creation. To store and process the big data of agricultural information collected by such IoT devices, agribusinesses need cloud computing. Cloud-based platforms provide flexibility, scalability, and real-time analytics to quickly capture and assess data. An MSP can provide the cloud infrastructure that is optimal for your agribusiness.

NexusTek’s cloud experts analyze your business needs and select either a public cloud, private cloud, or a multi-cloud environment that supports your business goals.

Cybersecurity

The agriculture IoT market will be worth $32.75 billion by 2027, forecasts Meticulous Research. But the very digitization that is improving agriculture production is also making agribusinesses more vulnerable to cybercriminals. Recently modernized, the agriculture market’s investment in cybersecurity is still in its infancy, accounting for only 2-3% of total spend in 2019 in North America. Agribusinesses need to capitalize on this moment and secure their newly advanced infrastructures against cyberattacks.

Ranked among the top MSPs in the U.S., NexusTek harbors over two decades of cybersecurity experience. Our IT experts assess your risk portfolio, perform regular security checks, and identify vulnerabilities in your IT systems. Our managed cybersecurity solutions secure your users, IT systems, and endpoint devices to protect your most vulnerable asset: your agricultural workers. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors alerts, updates patches, and isolates and eradicates cyberthreats to keep your smart farm online.
