CBTS + HPE
Edge-to-Cloud infrastructure, built on HPE
Your data center, cloud, and AI ambitions are only as strong as the infrastructure beneath them. CBTS and HPE build that foundation together.
The challenge
Today’s workload, yesterday’s infrastructure
Your teams are being asked to do more — run AI workloads, modernize aging data centers, extend the network edge, and contain costs — all at once, on infrastructure that wasn't designed for any of it.
The pressure is real: every delayed refresh is a compounding risk, and every workaround adds complexity that will eventually need to be unwound. Most organizations know what they need to build.
Finding the right partner to build it with them is where it gets hard.

Our partnership
We're a Triple Platinum Plus HPE Partner
CBTS has partnered with HPE for more than 30 years — long enough to know how to get the most out of HPE's portfolio, and when to push back.
As an HPE Triple Platinum Plus partner — the highest tier in the HPE Partner Ready Vantage Program — CBTS brings engineering depth, cross-domain expertise, and a track record that spans compute, hybrid cloud, networking, AI infrastructure, and data protection.
Where some partners go wide, we go deep. Our team holds 260+ HPE certifications across six competency areas, and we've earned Platinum-level status across Compute, Hybrid Cloud, and Networking — meaning the people working on your environment know HPE's portfolio at a level that translates directly into faster deployment, fewer missteps, and infrastructure that performs as designed.
