What Calnet Technology Group does

Calnet Technology Group, operating commercially as NexusTek, is a US-based managed IT services provider founded in 1995 (originally as PC Literate) by Zack Schuler, headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, with additional offices in Irvine, California and New York. The company delivers an integrated managed services platform called NexusOps spanning four pillars: cloud services, data and AI, cybersecurity, and IT operations, serving 1,200+ customers across six vertical segments — Hospitality, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Energy, Construction, and Horticulture.

The product portfolio centers on Managed Detection & Response (MDR), AI Email Security, NexusTek Private Cloud, and the NexusIQ operations intelligence platform, supplemented by Virtual Desktop, IT Consulting, Professional Services, vCIO/vCISO advisory, and CMMC 2.0 compliance offerings. Technology differentiators are positioned around integration and interoperability across the NexusOps suite, AI-driven anomaly detection in cybersecurity, and Secure by Design architecture for implementations. Distribution is supported by core strategic partnerships with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, including marketplace listings that enable enterprise procurement.

The business model combines recurring subscription-based managed IT services with project-based professional services revenue. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-oriented, with thought-leadership content marketing, vertical-specific landing pages, and partner co-marketing. The company reports a 98% customer satisfaction rating and an average client relationship of approximately 6 years, and has received multiple CRN industry recognitions including the 2025 Triple Crown Award (CRN Elite 250, Solution Provider 500, and Fast Growth 150) and the CRN MSP 500 in 2026.

Direct peers

• AHEAD: Mid-market managed IT services and consulting firm with deep cloud, security, and data center practices. Comparable scale, verticalized offering, and enterprise/government customer base to NexusTek, with similar tier-1 hyperscaler relationships.
• ConvergeOne: Mid-market-focused managed services, collaboration, and cloud provider with a similar customer mix. Directly competes for the same enterprise/government managed-services and CXO-advisory wallet share NexusTek targets.
• Rackspace Technology: Pure-play managed cloud services provider with multi-cloud expertise across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Closely comparable on cloud managed services and private cloud hosting—NexusTek Private Cloud competes directly with Rackspace's hosted offerings.
• Navisite: Managed cloud, managed applications, and cloud-hosted desktop provider owned by Accenture. Direct competitor to NexusTek on private cloud, virtual desktop, and managed cloud migrations for mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Blue Mantis (formerly OnX): Mid-market managed IT, cloud, and security services firm comparable in scale and customer profile. Similar managed-services-plus-advisory model with overlapping vertical concentration in healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services.

Broad incumbents

• Logicalis: Global IT solutions and managed services provider with broad cloud, networking, and security capabilities. Larger and broader than NexusTek but overlaps meaningfully on managed cloud, security, and hybrid infrastructure services to enterprise customers.
• Insight Enterprises: Large public technology solutions provider (Insight) delivering managed services, cloud, and security at scale. Competes for similar mid-market and enterprise IT-outsourcing spend with global delivery capability NexusTek lacks.
• ePlus: Public IT solutions and managed services company with a strong security, cloud, and financing practice. Competes for similar mid-market and enterprise managed-services engagements at greater scale than NexusTek.

Emerging players

• Optiv: Pure-play cybersecurity solutions integrator and managed security services provider. Direct overlap on the MDR and CMMC 2.0 positioning NexusTek emphasizes, with deeper security specialization but narrower cloud/IT ops footprint.

Regional players

• Datacom: Large Asia-Pacific managed services and cloud provider with similar managed IT, cloud, and security portfolio. Comparable in services breadth but geographically complementary—Datacom's APAC focus does not directly contest NexusTek's North American base.
