About the technology

About Qdrant

Qdrant is an open-source vector database for semantic search, RAG and AI applications. Documents, tickets, product data or knowledge bases become searchable as vectors.

We operate Qdrant as a production retrieval layer: with clean collection design, embedding pipelines, payload filters, backup strategy, monitoring and integration into AnythingLLM, Open WebUI, Langfuse and custom applications.

    Target architecture

    Integrate Qdrant 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.

    Qdrant 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.
