Agriculture
Cloud Computing

The world’s population is set to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and if we are to feed them, global agricultural production must rise 69% between 2010 and 2050, according to the United Nations. The connectivity and data from Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can drive trends monitoring and boost production. With such a multitude of complex devices collecting large volumes of agricultural information, agribusinesses need a solution to securely store and process the big data. Basic server hardware can cost upwards of $100,000. Owning enough servers to support the farm data pulled from across vast fields is costly and impractical. It is time to swap on-site data capacities and data corruption for the on-demand scalability and security of the cloud.

What is Cloud Computing for the agri-food sector?

Cloud services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), utilize the internet to host and store applications and data that farmers can access from anywhere at any time. Public, private, and multi-cloud infrastructure environments provide scalability, accessibility, and security that are crucial to system uptime and agriculture production.

How can Cloud Services improve your agribusiness?

Cloud computing allows agribusinesses to scale IT processes up and down as needed to optimize IT asset usage. Adopting cloud solutions can reduce IT overhead costs by 30-40%, and some enterprises have also reduced IT incidents as much as 70%. IaaS and VDI can alleviate the stress and cost of on-premises infrastructure upkeep and maintenance. VDI is highly convenient for agriculture’s remote workforce, allowing farmers to access enterprise applications and real-time analytics at anytime from anywhere. A managed service provider (MSP) takes on the responsibility of hosting applications and data, allowing farmers to focus on growing their agribusiness.
