IT for production facilities in Ravenna, Portage County
KawaConnect supports a licensed cannabis producer in Ravenna. A production facility needs a network that stays up, cameras that keep recording and backups that restore.

What keeps a production site running
When equipment, cameras and records all share one building, the network is the part everything else leans on.
A licensed producer works under state licensing and audits, so a failure costs more than lost time. A dead switch can blind a camera, and a lost drive can take a record with it.
We start with the network, then look at what depends on it.
- Reliable networks: structured switching and Wi-Fi sized for the building, with a firewall pair so one failed unit does not take the site offline.
- Cameras: IP cameras and network video recorders on a separate segment, with remote viewing through a VPN.
- Backups: offsite copies for servers and office data, with restore tests, plus Proxmox Backup Server for virtual machines.
- Device security: managed EDR, disk encryption and patching on the computers that touch production records.
Remote first, on site when needed
Our offices are in Coraopolis and Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Beaver Falls sits near the Ohio border and is the base we stage Ohio projects from. Ravenna work is done remotely wherever it can be. We travel when a switch, a camera or a cable run needs hands.
Because we already support a producer here, we know how this kind of site is laid out and audited. We never name clients, and we do not share one client's details with another.

How an engagement works
- Ask what has failed. We start from what the facility runs and where it has broken before.
- Mark the visits. The written scope shows which tasks are remote and which need someone on site.
- Build and verify. We implement, test the failover and restore, and write down how it works.
Questions about IT in Ravenna
Do you work with other Portage County businesses?
Yes. We support a dispensary in Streetsboro, and we built and host its website.
Can you add cameras to an existing network?
Yes. We put them on their own segment, so camera traffic and any weakness in a camera stay apart from production and office systems.
Where can I see other Ohio coverage?
Read about Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, or return to the service areas overview.
