Morphology
The meaning 'a system for managing, storing, and transmitting data' is directly and compositionally derived from 'data' (information) + 'system' (a collection of interacting components). This noun–noun combination follows common compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Data system comes from the simple image of many parts working together to move and keep data, like pipes or roads in a town joined as a system. So, data system means 'a set of networks and tools that store and send information'.
