IT Success: Cannabis Industry
Copperstate Farms, Arizona’s largest cannabis grow facility, dramatically improves security, boosts internet speed and bandwidth with IT Managed Services Partner.
The Challenge
As a 40-acre grow operation in rural Arizona, Copperstate Farms needed to modernize its IT infrastructure to ensure maximum security and to optimize data speed and bandwidth for zero downtime.
Still in startup mode, Copperstate’s human and financial resources were stretched thin, and it was about to undergo a stringent state security inspection, a requirement for operating the facility.
Copperstate’s future relied on finding a nimble, strategic technology partner that could jump right in, work within tight budget and time constraints, and help it clear this critical hurdle.
To ensure Copperstate passed its imminent security inspection, Sunstate worked around the clock, including nights and weekends, to complete the IT upgrade on time
Sunstate personnel went the extra mile to demonstrate to inspectors that all security functions were working and up to code at Copperstate. Thanks to Sunstate’s dedication, Copperstate passed inspection with flying colors. Operations have flourished, and what was once a startup with ten employees has expanded to a team of over 200, providing significant job opportunities and economic growth for the community.
