Which applications belong to IoT & devices?

The category covers 21 applications in managed hosting. The most common types are IoT, edge and OT platform (4), Industrial IoT Gateway (3), IoT automation (2), SCADA and HMI platform (2), Context broker (1), Device and update management (1). In addition there are 1 applications that WZ-IT installs and operates on your infrastructure.

How do I find the right application?

What matters is the protocols, the number of devices and the evaluation you want. The catalogue lists ThingsBoard, OpenRemote and ChirpStack as platforms, Eclipse Mosquitto as MQTT broker, and Home Assistant and evcc for home and energy. We review the feature set, licence and edition and the operating effort before the proposal; vendor licences are listed separately.

What does hosting an application in this category cost?

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.

What is the contract term?

Hosting can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term and 30 days' notice to the end of the month.

Where is the data stored?

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.

How are applications operated on your own infrastructure?

WZ-IT does not run EMQX in managed hosting but on your infrastructure: installation, configuration and ongoing operation. Assessment and installation cost from €1,490 excl. VAT one-time.

IoT platforms as managed open source

IoT platforms, MQTT brokers, LoRaWAN network servers, SCADA, device management and energy management 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.

Devices transmit continuously
Sensors and gateways transmit continuously, at intervals or event-driven. Monitoring reports technical outages of the platform; we plan high availability and redundancy separately where needed.
Time series grow
Measurements can add up to large time series. Storage, retention and backup depend on the number of devices and the measurement interval.
Connection to devices and systems
Devices speak MQTT or LoRaWAN, for example, and data flows into dashboards and business systems. The assessment clarifies protocols and interfaces before takeover.

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.
