NetBox Hosting in Germany
WZ-IT operates NetBox as a central infrastructure source and connects its data model, plugins, API, backups and automation paths to your environment.
About the technology
Maintain infrastructure data as a reliable source
NetBox documents the intended state of networks and data centres. Devices, IP ranges, cables, sites and tenants are linked through a consistent data model.
We configure the platform, database, workers, cache, proxy and API access and plan data imports and automation with existing systems.
NetBox for networks and infrastructure
Model assets
Document sites, racks, devices, components and connections in a structured way.IPAM and network data
Manage prefixes, IP addresses, VLANs, VRFs and tenants in one consistent source.Feed automation
Provide intended-state data through APIs, webhooks and exports for provisioning and configuration management.Integrate systems
Connect monitoring, DNS, virtualisation and other infrastructure tools through defined interfaces.Control access
Secure users, groups, tokens and administrative paths according to responsibilities.API and plugins
Operate extensions and integrations with version control and clear upgrade boundaries.Migration and takeover
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.Identity and secure access
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.Backup and recovery
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.Updates, monitoring and operations
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
Operations beyond installation
Operate NetBox as a dependable source of truth
The value lies in a consistent model for sites, devices, IPAM and connections; imports and automation must not change it without control.

Size NetBox by objects, imports and automation
Relations, custom fields, jobs, plugins and API use matter more than device count alone.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small infrastructure inventory | S | Normal DCIM/IPAM use. |
| Several sites and teams | M | More objects, roles and jobs. |
| Heavy automation | M or L plus workers | Imports and webhooks are tested. |
| Enterprise source of truth | Architecture assessment | Availability and governance are planned. |
- Large imports, many plugins and extensive automation are assessed separately.

Reviews & projects
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.
