Interoperability
Enhancing data sharing between modern and legacy systems is a primary challenge for IT teams today. Infrastructure interoperability depends on successfully connecting new and legacy systems so they are compatible.
Organizations looking to implement new hardware or tools into their IT ecosystem must clearly understand which workloads are optimal to run in the Cloud and which legacy applications will remain on-prem in a dedicated environment. Once we map, document, and understand which elements of the existing IT infrastructure can successfully move to the Cloud, we can then focus on creating a roadmap that considers all systems requiring modernization.

Case studies
View All
The client is a large regional financial institution that operates as a diversified financial services company. The financial institution has $113 billion in assets, operates 16 affiliates with 1,309 full-service banking centers, including 103 bank mart locations open seven days a week inside select grocery stores, and 2,358 ATMs.
Problem
The client’s network was insufficient for the company’s bandwidth needs, and its connections had quadrupled over four years from 16 to 64. The client’s growth in both the number of locations and the types of banking services created an increased need for new and updated technology at the client’s main offices and branches
CBTS solution
Implementation of SIP required a true partnership among CBTS personnel, the client’s internal staff, and vendors that provided the SIP circuits, desktops, and help desk.
CBTS successfully installed a converged voice and data solution, which included phasing out the old voice architecture and replacing it with VoIP. The VoIP infrastructure, including new circuits and routers, telephony servers, transcoders, and configuration, would support the client’s 1,200 existing branch locations.
Outcome
Within 30 months, CBTS rolled out the VoIP solution to 1,500 new branches and internal groups at the client’s sites. More than 33,000 handsets transitioned to VoIP. The solution employed a VoIP server, eight call manager servers, and one unity server. Three hundred customer sites utilized the auto attendant application. CBTS saved the client $9 million.
Located in northeastern Ohio, this healthcare system employs more than 7,000 and provides comprehensive emergency, acute, critical, outpatient, and long term care.
Problem
The client’s wireless hardware was reaching the end of its life and needed a refresh.
CBTS solution
The client and CBTS met weekly for three months to ensure all requirements would be included in the outcome and to educate the client on product capabilities. After the discovery, a proof of concept was implemented on one floor of the client’s tech center building.
The proof of concept provided all requirements determined during the discovery process. Aruba controllers and mobility master solutions provide centralized configuration management, scaled deployment options, and centralized license management.
Outcome
Using Aruba Airwave, the IT department now has granular visibility into the network with far less time spent managing it. CBTS Professional Services integrated the existing network security solution with Aruba controllers and mobility master, providing a secure environment without additional security solutions.
