Beck’s Hybrids Case Study

Industry: Agricultural Services

Solutions: Colocation, Disaster Recovery

Business Overview

Beck’s Hybrids is the largest family-owned, retail seed company in the United States, serving farmers in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, southern Michigan, western Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, southern Wisconsin and Missouri. Beck’s understands what farmers need, because they’re farmers, too.

IT Challenge

Amidst rapid expansion, Beck’s Hybrids faced a pivotal challenge: ensuring data security and operational efficiency across their geographically dispersed locations. The imperative was to fortify their network connections, particularly in the central Midwest, while preparing for continued growth. 

Solutions

Lightedge’s central Midwest locations aligned with their disaster recovery goals, while the technical expertise of Lightedge’s team set them apart. Opting for Lightedge’s Tier III data center and Talari SD-WAN, Beck’s Hybrids established a future-proof data management approach.

As a buyer of services, I’m pretty good at assessing a technical person’s skill sets early on in a conversation. Lightedge’s technical experts clearly floated to the top. Their creative minds stood out above the rest.
