CBTS, an innovative IT managed service provider, was facing the challenge of meeting the increasing customer demand for cloud-based services. As a company that helps its customers achieve their business and IT goals with solutions that align to their cloud-first strategies, CBTS needed a flexible and reliable IT infrastructure. However, like its customers, CBTS wanted to avoid capital investment in infrastructure that might become redundant if customers scale-down. The company, which started as a division of a local telephony company, has evolved over the last 20 years and now works with more than 3,000 organizations across multiple industries. With 1,500 employees at locations in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and India, the need for a cost-effective and agile cloud service solution was paramount.

To address its infrastructure needs, CBTS turned to Hitachi Vantara in 2010. The company now uses Hitachi's EverFlex to source around 20 Petabytes of storage on a utility-pricing basis. This includes Hitachi VSP (Virtual Storage Platform), H-NAS (network attached storage), and HCP (Hitachi Content Platform) for Cloud Scale. With Hitachi EverFlex, CBTS can segregate domains for customers, allowing the company to match clients to hardware on a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one basis. This flexibility enables CBTS to provide the infrastructure to customers in various forms – from highly secure private cloud environments to shared public cloud. EverFlex storage also supports CBTS’s cloud-based services such as hosted communications, Backup as a Service, and DR as a Service.
