CBTS + Dell Technologies
Infrastructure for the AI Era, built on Dell.
Modern enterprises can't afford to wait months for AI to move from proof-of-concept to production. CBTS and Dell Technologies get you there faster — with pre-validated AI infrastructure, Titanium-level expertise, and full lifecycle services from architecture through 24×7 management.
The challenge
Your AI Initiative Is Ready. Your Infrastructure Might Not Be.
The demand for AI is real. The path to production isn't. Most organizations are juggling GPU procurement timelines, unstructured data sprawl, integration complexity, and security exposures — all at once. Every week of delay is a competitive cost you can't get back.

Our partnership
We are a Dell Technologies Titanium Partner.
Titanium is the highest tier in Dell's channel program — and one of the hardest to earn. CBTS holds more than 130 Dell certifications spanning Client, Server, Storage, Networking, and Data Protection. That depth means faster access to the hardware you need, co-engineering support from Dell, and solutions architected by engineers who know the platform end to end.
Our relationship with Dell dates to 2001. Over more than two decades, we've built the certified team, the delivery infrastructure, and the technical depth to turn Dell's world-class portfolio into working solutions for your business.
Partnership at a glance
What we deliver
AI Infrastructure & High-Performance Compute
Most organizations spend months trying to get AI off the whiteboard. CBTS and Dell close that gap — deploying GPU-powered servers and validated storage configurations that are tested in the CBTS iLab before they ever reach your environment. Your teams get a production-ready AI platform, not a starting point to figure out.
Business outcomes:
-
Shorten the path from AI pilot to business impact
-
Start with a tested, proven environment — not a blank slate
-
Avoid costly overbuilds with infrastructure sized to your actual workloads
Hybrid Cloud & Dell APEX
Running a mix of on-premises systems and cloud services is harder than it looks — costs creep, visibility gaps widen, and teams end up managing too many vendors. CBTS designs and manages hybrid environments built on Dell infrastructure that bring order to that complexity, with one architecture and one management layer across your entire footprint. We help you choose the most effective way to procure and maximize your investment — from Capex to fully managed on-site APEX solutions.
Business outcomes:
-
Get a single view of your infrastructure — wherever it lives
-
Shift from large upfront technology purchases to predictable, usage-based spending
-
Scale storage and compute independently as your business needs change
Data Protection & Cyber Resilience
A cyberattack or infrastructure failure doesn't just threaten your data — it threatens operations, revenue, and trust. CBTS combines Dell's built-in Zero Trust and Cyber Recovery capabilities with our own managed security team, so when something goes wrong, you're back up fast. We restore infrastructure, not just investigate incidents.
Business outcomes:
-
Recover operations faster after an attack or outage — not just investigate what happened
-
Build security into your infrastructure from the ground up, not as an afterthought
-
Reduce exposure with continuous monitoring and rapid response from the CBTS security team

Infrastructure mastery
The compute, network, and storage foundations AI demands aren’t theoretical for us. Three decades of enterprise infrastructure experience means we’ve already solved the problems most organizations are about to encounter.

Security by design
We integrate AI-specific security capabilities from day one — eliminating the primary concern that keeps most organizations from deeper AI adoption.

Battle-tested at enterprise scale
You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget.
FAQ
Dell APEX is a consumption-based, as-a-service model that shifts infrastructure from large upfront capital purchases to predictable, usage-based spending. CBTS helps you choose the right path, from Capex to fully managed on-site APEX. We also operate the environment, so flexibility doesn’t add complexity.
It depends on data gravity, steady-state cost predictability, and control requirements. Many organizations keep large or sensitive AI workloads on-prem to avoid cloud GPU premiums. CBTS sizes infrastructure to your actual workloads and can blend on-prem Dell with cloud, so you avoid both overbuilds and bill shock.
Ideas are often fast and easy; friction emerges when it’s time for GPU procurement, integration, and validation. CBTS and Dell deploy GPU servers and validated storage tested in the CBTS iLab before they reach you, so you receive a production-ready platform.
CBTS combines Dell’s built-in Zero Trust and Cyber Recovery capabilities with our own managed security team, focused on restoring operations fast rather than just investigating. Recovery is built into your infrastructure from the start, with continuous monitoring and rapid response.
Titanium is the highest tier in Dell’s channel program and one of the hardest to earn. For you, it means priority access to hardware like PowerEdge XE9680 and APEX, Titanium-level pricing, and co-engineering support from Dell, backed by 130+ CBTS Dell certifications.
