About the technology

About LiteLLM

LiteLLM is a gateway between applications and LLM providers. Teams call an OpenAI-compatible API while routing between local models, European endpoints and cloud providers.

We operate LiteLLM as a controlled AI access layer with virtual keys, budgets, provider fallbacks, logging, network segmentation and integration into Ollama, vLLM, Langfuse and internal applications. SSO is included in the open-source edition for up to five users; beyond that, and for audit logs and JWT authentication, LiteLLM requires the Enterprise edition.

LiteLLM Features for Enterprises

  • Multi-LLM Routing

    Route requests to Ollama, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, European providers or hyperscaler APIs through a unified interface.
  • Fallbacks & Resilience

    Provider outages, rate limits or cost limits can be handled through fallback rules and routing policies.
  • Virtual Keys

    Teams and applications receive their own keys, budgets and policies instead of direct provider access.
  • Cost Control

    Token usage, models, providers and budgets become centrally visible and controllable.
  • OpenAI-Compatible API

    Existing applications can often move to new models or providers without major rewrites.
  • Security & Operations

    We harden the gateway, separate networks, integrate authentication and monitor metrics, logs and availability.

Infrastructure, integration and operations

LiteLLM as part of your infrastructure

We do more than provide an application. WZ-IT designs the technical architecture, integrates network and identity, operates the agreed scope and develops integrations when the standard product is not enough.

  • Cloud Installation

    AWS, Azure, Hetzner & more: Installation on AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner · Terraform/IaC setup (optional) · Kubernetes or Docker Compose · Capacity and scaling design

  • Enterprise Setup

    Advanced architecture after technical and licence assessment: HA and recovery design where supported by the application and edition · Logging according to feature set and edition · Custom security policies

Network and identity

SSO, secure access, internal systems and existing security components are integrated appropriately.

    Target architecture

    Integrate LiteLLM into your infrastructure with clear controls

    AI applications need controlled model access, knowledge sources, permissions and observability in addition to the user interface. We design these data flows as one coherent stack.

    Users and connected applications

    Teams, business applications and API clients use defined interfaces and endpoints.

    Secure access

    TLS, firewall rules, reverse proxies or private network paths are designed around the platform's exposure.

    Identity and permissions

    Local accounts, SSO, directories, service accounts and emergency access are connected through clear roles.

    LiteLLM platform

    Application logic, model access, roles and approved capabilities run in a controlled environment.

    Models and compute

    Local or external models, GPU/CPU resources, routing, limits and cost controls.

    Knowledge and data

    Documents, databases, vector search and traceable data paths for RAG and search.

    Tools and observability

    Reviewed tools, APIs, logging, metrics and technical quality controls.

    Models, extensions and data sources are not enabled indiscriminately. Permissions, data exposure, cost and professional oversight are assessed per use case.

    Client feedback and projects worldwide

    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.

    WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.
