Target architecture

Integrate Milesight into your infrastructure with clear controls

We design the application, access paths, identities, data storage and integrations as one operable target system.

Users and connected systems

People, endpoints and services connect through defined roles and interfaces.

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.

Milesight platform

Application, configuration and runtime are deployed reproducibly and updated in a controlled process.

Data and storage

Persistence, capacity, retention and consistent backups.

Operational services

Monitoring, jobs, notifications and required background components.

APIs and integrations

Controlled connections to directories, business systems and automation.

The diagram is a resilient target model. Its implementation depends on edition, data flows, load, availability objectives and existing infrastructure.

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.
