Dedicated infrastructure
An appropriately sized workload with network, storage and a documented system foundation.
Setup and migration
Installation, baseline configuration and, where required, data transfer, integrations and a planned production cutover.
Databases, identity and monitoring as managed open source
Databases, search, backup and object storage, monitoring and logging, password managers, and identity and access as a dedicated instance. We review edition and operating scope in advance.
Operations
What matters in operations
The following points apply to many applications in this category.
Databases need recovery
Daily backups with 7 days of retention are included. We plan recovery targets and high availability as needed.
Identity carries other applications
Keycloak, Authentik or ZITADEL handle sign-in for connected applications. If the service fails, sign-ins can fail. Backup and monitoring belong to every instance.
Metrics and logs grow
Monitoring and log tools can accumulate much data. We define retention and storage at the start; more storage is bookable in 50 GB steps.
Applications
82 applications for databases, identity and monitoring
Every application has its own page with features, licence and operating options. Licence and edition differ per application.

Frequently asked questions about Data, identity & monitoring
Selection, price, contract, location and operation on your own infrastructure.
- The category covers 82 applications in managed hosting. The most common types are Monitoring (13), Identity Management (10), Backup platform (5), Database (5), Search and Analytics Engine (5), Analytical database (4). In addition there are 7 applications that WZ-IT installs and operates on your infrastructure.
- What matters is the data model and load (relational, document, time series, search), recovery targets and the connection to sign-in. The catalogue lists PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, MongoDB and Redis, Prometheus, Grafana and Zabbix for monitoring, and Keycloak, Authentik and Vaultwarden for identity and passwords. We review the feature set, licence and edition and the operating effort before the proposal; vendor licences are listed separately.
- Managed hosting costs from €99.90 excl. VAT per month for a standard workload of size XS. We check which size the application needs in production before provisioning. It includes updates, daily backups with 7 days of retention and 24/7 monitoring. Larger instances and higher service levels cost extra; the configurator calculates the price of the chosen configuration.
- Hosting can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term and 30 days' notice to the end of the month.
- Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available at the same prices. All three locations are data centres without US clouds that are ISO 27001 certified within the scope of the respective data centre operator; in Germany we additionally operate with a German provider whose data centres are BSI C5 attested. A confidentiality agreement under Section 203 German Criminal Code (StGB) is also available for app hosting on request, at the German location only; the separate Section 203 Managed Cloud for professional-secrecy holders is available in Germany only.
- WZ-IT does not run ArangoDB, FalkorDB, Memgraph, Redpanda Console, SurrealDB, TimescaleDB, and Vault in managed hosting but on your infrastructure: installation, configuration and ongoing operation. Assessment and installation cost from €1,490 excl. VAT one-time.

Networking & Provisioning
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
