As technology advances, organizations face overwhelming data challenges, including managing rapid data growth with limited resources, fulfilling information and analytics requests, ensuring compliance and confidentiality, addressing employee requirements, and protection of information securely.
Companies and organizations must lean on experts for data infrastructure management services and modernize their topology to tackle the challenges inherent in this digital explosion.
Data management for the application era
Your organization’s infrastructure may only be practical for some of the data you’re storing and managing today. Application data management must ensure uniformity, accuracy, stewardship, governance, semantic consistency, and data accountability in a business application or suite.
Valuable insights are derived from data. The effective management and utilization of your company’s data can empower your business and spark innovation. Discover how CBTS professionals can assess your storage environment and design, deploy, and manage the right solution to help you capitalize on your data and unlock your organization’s potential.
DATA MANAGEMENT
What is data management?
Data management encompasses the practices and policies employed to control, protect, and enhance the value of data assets and information. It involves collecting, storing, organizing, updating, protecting, and utilizing data for analysis or reference. The primary goals of data management programs are to accomplish these tasks efficiently and cost-effectively while maintaining data security.
Successful data management systems ensure critical information is reliable, up-to-date, accessible to those who use it, and secure from attacks and leaks.

- Independently analyze your business requirements and design the proper solution that meets your needs and fits within your budget.
Consumption model transition
- Data architecture is designed with database systems and repositories.
- Data modules are created to map workflows and the relationships in data sets to organize the information to meet business needs.
Data management services
- Data is generated, processed, and stored in a database or repository.
- Data from different transaction systems and additional sources is integrated into a data warehouse or data lake.
Monitor the environment
- Our highly trained engineers monitor and manage the environment 24×7.

Data in an enterprise organization often originates from external sources that may lack security measures or compliance with standards and regulations. Instances of improper data retrieval, including attacks and scams, can also occur. Data management systems need regular security checks and updates to ensure data integrity.
“It’s an exciting time for data management. Software-defined storage, such as object storage and HC storage, is quickly being adopted as an alternative to traditional SAN and NAS arrays. The scalability of this technology and capacity to span geographic regions eliminates the need for a like-for-like array at a target site—all translating into greater data accessibility used to analyze and uncover insights that drive successful outcomes.”

Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) is an industry-leading aircraft leasing and air cargo transportation services company. ATSG offers various aviation-related services through its subsidiaries, such as aircraft leasing, air cargo transportation, passenger ACMI and charter services, aircraft maintenance, and airport ground services.
ATSG sought support in buying new hardware and software and implementing the latest technology within their existing Oracle environment. These initial projects built trust between CBTS and the client, so much so that in 2019, when ATSG needed to implement a new airport management application in conjunction with Lufthansa, they turned to CBTS. Implementing this application presented several challenges, including legacy applications and infrastructure, as well as the need for the air traffic control system to stay online during system updates to ensure safety.
In 2021, ATSG needed to migrate and streamline three domains obtained after multiple acquisitions. The multiple domains caused performance lag and operational complexity.
CBTS solution
During the initial service period, ATSG was so pleased with CBTS that they contracted our team for another three years to manage their Oracle environment.
Over a year, the CBTS team—with support from our Canadian sister company, OnX—implemented the new application suite of airport management tools from Lufthansa, the cutting-edge Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC). IOCC includes the Lido Flight 4D flight plan system, flight monitor application NetLine/Ops, and crew management solution NetLine/Crew. Each system provides next-gen automation and integration features that greatly reduce the workload of flight traffic controllers.
CBTS implemented best practices and updated the system within the Oracle environment. After the success of this implementation, in 2021 ATSG also worked with CBTS to migrate and unify their domain after they accrued three separate domains during recent business acquisitions. CBTS successfully consolidated the domain into a unified environment by transferring over 3,000 users from servers and workstations to the new Active Directory domain.
Outcome
Over several years, ATSG utilized the full range of CBTS technology services to purchase new hardware, implement a cutting-edge flight control system, and consolidate its operations into one system to improve insight and reliability. Each of these projects allowed ATSG to provide better customer service and simplify operational management.
This health system offers numerous medical, surgical, and testing services at its main campus and more than 100 outpatient and physician practices throughout Greater Cincinnati.
Problem
The client’s data center migration from Michigan to Cincinnati involved 500 servers and 400 terabytes of data storage—and needed to occur within an aggressive 12-month period. The health network needed a provider with expertise in designing, building, and maintaining a Tier 3 IT infrastructure to execute a project of this magnitude.
CBTS solution
CBTS consulting and engineering professionals designed and built the solution within the required 12-month timeframe. Additionally, we managed the migration project and brought the data center infrastructure from Michigan to the two Tier 3 sites in Greater Cincinnati.
Outcome
The health network now runs on a modern, updated data center infrastructure with better performance. The new data centers deliver top-notch disaster recovery capabilities with a fully redundant Tier 3 backup site. The client is well-positioned to integrate new facilities and practices as the network expands. In addition, the client saves on annual IT operational costs through consolidation and virtualization.
The client is a leading integrated provider of payment processing strategies and advanced technology solutions for businesses and financial institutions.
Problem
The client needed to identify and migrate hundreds of scattered servers into a CBTS data center. Additionally, the client needed to protect and back up business-critical data on these servers.
CBTS solution
Because the company was relocating its servers into a CBTS data center, CBTS recommended its data center Backup-as-a-Service (BUaaS) solution to help the client solve its backup and recovery goals. The BUaaS infrastructure was already built in the data center and ready for use.
Outcome
The solution eliminates the need for the client to purchase additional equipment. CBTS has built the backup infrastructure with TSM and EMC Data Domain products. The client pays only a monthly utility fee for what it needs to use.
CBTS Data Protection Services provide a cost-effective solution that protects 36 critical servers and 41 TB of data. More servers are being identified and added to the solution. With data protection services, the client has an enterprise-class, flexible method to protect the company’s critical data.
Aligning data management services with business objectives
Data management is the backbone of effective IT operations. Unless a company can optimize and secure its data, the organization risks security breaches and compounding inefficiencies. Gartner states, “Shifting data and analytics to the edge will open opportunities for data teams to scale capabilities and extend impact into different parts of the business.” CBTS helps your team do just that.
An organization’s data management solution must support its current business requirements.
